Deuteron® MK

Polycondensate plastics. Acts as a matting agent. The small binder demand of DEUTERON MK only leads to a nonessential viscosity influence, which is significant for UV-curing lacquers. Is resistant against solvents and chemicals which are customary in the paint industry. Adjustments to specific requirements can easily be made due to the available particle sizes. Shows a heat resistance of more than 200°C, temporarily up to 300°C. Weather resistance and light stability are most favorable. Suitable for the use in UV and water-based coatings to decrease the blocking without worsening of the recoatability. In some cases the surface properties can be increased by using a combination of DEUTERON MK with a suitable wax, e.g. DEUTERON WAX PP or DEUTERON WAX TF. The combination with inorganic matting agents is possible and leads to improved mechanical resistances. Scratch resistance and resistance against polishing will be increased. Has very good dispersing properties. Used in printing inks, wood lacquers, UV-curing coating, coil-coatings, lacquers on foils, exterior applications, aqueous wood- and furniture varnishes. Dosage: The quantity depends first of all on the requested gloss and the used binder. Additions of 1,0 - 15,0 % calculated on total formulation are common.
