- Cure Method
- Coating Type
- Use Level
- 2.5-10%
- Applications
All radical curing UV systems, even printing inks and overprint varnishes (100%, solvent-free). Due to its structure as a wax compound, it also acts very well as a matting and haptic additive for solventborne lacquers.
- Dosage
The optimal dosage highly depends on the binders, photoinitiators and reactive thinners and any other additives used and must be determined through own trials. The dosages for 100% UV systems are usually between 2.5-10%. For initial orientation tests, a dosage of around 5% is recommended.
- Processing
Deuteron UV RMP can be worked into the paint with a rapid agitator or dissolver. Deuteron UV RMP should preferably be processed by itself or pre-thinned with an agitator at the end of production. Foaming should be prevented as much as possible. In water-based systems it could be necessary to use suitable wetting agents.

Safety & Health
- Safety Regulations
According to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 Deuteron UV RMP 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
- Shelf Life
- 24 Months
- Storage Conditions & Package Sizes
Deuteron UV RMP can be stored for at least 24 months at room temperature and dry conditions. Storage temperatures of 30°C should not be exceeded. Higher temperatures and pressure could lead to formation of agglomerates which are hard to decompose.Paper bag (20kg net)
