The product can be easily incorporated by all common dispersing processes. When producing clear varnish, only a small rate of shear is required to incorporate Deuteron MM 677. This prevents forming of micro foam in the production batch. Even when Deuteron MM 677 is added to the mill base or the dispersion-medium, overmilling is practically impossible due to its excellent shear stability.The matting liquid is kept free of wetting agent and binder. Their presence usually limits the compatibility. Waxes or similar products are not included either. This allows for the use of Deuteron MM 677 in a wide field of applications. Deuteron MM 677 causes little cloudiness and is therefore also suitable for the use in clear varnishes. back

Deuteron SO 300 is a fine dispersion of an elastomer in water. It imparts coatings with a “soft touch” surface, even if the binder is not an especially soft or elastic type. At the same time it acts as a matting agent. The effect depends on the dosage and the system’s other components, particularly the binder. Deuteron SO 300 is temperature resistant up to 160 °C.The small particle size makes the product suitable for thin-film applications. Deuteron SO 300 contains no waxes and thus does not negatively affect the recoatability.In 2-component lacquers, the inherent OH-functionality allows the product to be cross-linked in the coating matrix. This can lead to higher mechanical and chemical resistances, which are not attainable by conventional means of adjusting “soft touch” and matting.Application Deuteron SO 300 is intended for all water-based lacquers, coatings and printing inks which have to offer a special feel and matting up to a “soft touch”. It can be used in systems of all ranges of film thickness. Deuteron SO 300 can be combined with other organic matting agents, waxes and silicas. back

Deuteron MM 659 reduces the gloss in above mentioned coating systems. At a higher dosage the viscosity will only be slightly increased. Good flow and processibility remain and allow for all usual application processes.Spoiling of the transparency in UV-curing lacquers is not possible due to the favorable composition of Deuteron MM 659. The obtained coating surfaces show excellent resistance regarding burnishing and mar resistance. The use of Deuteron MM 659 imparts coatings with a soft touch. In general, the additional use of waxes, PTFE or similar products is not necessary. A reaction between matting agent and lacquer system and therefore a spoiling of the storage stability has not been noticed. back
