Deuteron UV RMP

1 of 86 products in this brand
Deuteron UV RMP is primarily suited for matting radical curing 100 % UV systems. The effect is based on a partial incompatibility that disrupts the even formation of the surface during curing. This creates a rough surface that causes highly diffuse light diffraction. Deuteron UV RMP creates very matte and resistant surfaces with very pleasing, silky soft haptics. The delivery form (powder)enables the use in every system without adheringto particular reactive thinners. back

Applications & Uses

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)
