- Applications
Deuteron SR 28 is suitable for use as a thickener and stabilizing additive for all aqueous coating systems and technical applications such as water thinnable lacquers, dispersion paints and plasters, glues, printing inks, silicon paints as well as pigments and filler preparations.
- Dosage
Depending on the requirement 0.1-0.5% calculated based on the water content. Solutions should not contain more than 1% Deuteron SR 28. Considerably higher concentrations ensure no homogenous dispersion.
- Processing
Due to the rapid hydrating Deuteron SR 28 tends to form lumps. In order to prevent this, the additive should be added very slowly and evenly. For this reason, high shear force is required. As soon as the viscosity increases, the revolution speed should be continuously reduced in order to prevent the formation of bubbles. Building up the viscosity depends on the agitation time and the shear force. Deuteron SR 28 can be prepared either as a solution using the water available during the manufacturing process or directly dispersed into the finished product to adjust the viscosity. Good results of incorporation can also be achieved if the required quantity of Deuteron SR 28 is combined with glycol as a 1:1 mixture.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Conservation
Solutions of Deuteron SR 28 should be preserved if they are to be stored for more than 24 hours. Compatibility is given with preservatives which are common in the paint industry.
Safety & Health
- Safety Regulations
According to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 Deuteron SR 28 is not classified as a dangerous product and therefore does not need to be labeled. Due to the fine fractions of the product, measures for dust protection must be heeded and the build up of electrostatic charge must be avoided.
Storage & Handling
