Deuteron PMH-C (compact) is a micronized, pure thermoset with a compact particle structure. Due to its excellent fineness the product can be used as a matting additive in many applications in varnishes and coatings.Deuteron PMH C can be used as a matting agent in aqueous and solvent based coating systems. A suitable matting agent combination can be created for solvent free, radiation curing varnishes with the additional use of SiO2.With its favorable oil absorption value the product is predestinated for coatings with high flexibility, e.g. coil coatings and leather finishes.

Functions: Flattener

Applications

Deuteron PMH C can be used as a matting agent in aqueous and solvent based coating systems. A suitable matting agent combination can be created for solvent free, radiation curing varnishes with the additional use of SiO2 . With its favorable oil absorption value the product is predestinated for coatings with high flexibility, e.g. coil coatings and leather finishes.In powder coatings the presence of Deuteron PMH C can improve fluidity and spraying property of the powder coating.

Dosage

The optimum dosage depends on the required degree of gloss and the character of the binder employed. The addition ranges between 1,0 and 7,0 %. The optimum dosage should be determined by own trials.

Processing

Due to its excellent dispersing properties Deuteron PMH C can be easily incorporated with a mechanical stirrer or dissolver. Attention has to be paid to a sufficient rate of shear. This also applies to aqueous lacquers systems. The use of a wetting agent is generally not necessary. Due to its good temperature resistance Deuteron PMH C can also be added to the mill base
