Applications & Uses

- Applications
Deuteron ST texturing agents can be used in both solvent-based and water-based coating systems. Potential applications include coil-coating systems and coatings for plastic surfaces. Deuteron ST-x can be used to customize the haptical and optical surface properties. They can also be used as a functional additive to reduce the coefficient of sliding friction.
- Dosage
The amount added to coatings depends on the desired surface texture. This in turn depends on the thickness of the applied coating. Even the addition of 1 % results in textured surfaces. If desired, 15 % or more can be used, due to the low binder requirement. The optimum amount required to realize the desired effect must always be determined by own trials.
- Processing
The texturing agents can be mixed into the coating using a speed-stirrer or dissolver. The additional use of wetting agents is not required, even when used in water-based systems. Deuteron ST-x is stable to shear forces, but dispersion processes that induce a grinding effect must be avoided. In systems containing pigments, texturing agents must therefore be added after grinding the pigment.

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