- Applications
Deuteron MK-matting agents are suitable as exclusive matting agents for water-borne, solventborne and solvent-free systems, air-drying as well as stoving. They can also be used in printing inks, wood lacquers, UV-curing coatings, coil coatings, lacquers on foils, aqueous wood and furniture varnishes.The finer types are suitable where particularly thin dry films are applied or where very smooth surfaces have to be realized. The combination with inorganic matting agents is possible and leads to improved mechanical resistances. Scratch resistance and resistance against burnishing will be increased.
- Dosage
The quantity depends on the requested gloss and the binder used. Additions of 1.0 - 15.0 % (calculated on total formulation) are common. The exact dosage should be determined by own trials
- Processing
Because of their excellent dispersing properties Deuteron MK-products can be stirred into the liquid phase with a simple stirrer. This is applicable for water-based and solvent-based systems. It is also possible to grind them with the mill base to obtain an optimum of dispersion in paints containing pigments.

Safety & Health
- Safety Regulations
According to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 Deuteron MK is not classified as a dangerous product and therefore does not need to be labeled. Due to the fine fractions of the matting agents, measures for dust protection must be heeded and the build up of electrostatic charge must be avoided.
