Anionic heteropolysaccharide (Xanthan Gum) in 1-ethoy-2-propanole, stabilized
Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Coating Type
- Ink & Toner Type
- Use Level
- 0.1-2%
- Applications
For aqueous systems, such as dispersion paint, glue, dispersion plaster, water-dilutable lacquer, printing inks, silicate paint, aqueous pigment/filler preparations. Especially well suited for the building and do-ityourself sectors. Wherever high viscosity and pseudoplastic behavior are required but highperformance stirring devices, such as dissolvers, are not available.
- Dosage
Depending on the requirements, 0,1 - 2,0 %, calculated on the basis of the water content.
- Processing
The digestion of Deuteron VT 856 requires no great rate of shear; a careful addition under slight stirring is sufficient. On the other hand it is possible that air may get included during processing with a dissolver which might then stabilize during swelling. This must be taken into consideration. If stirring or dispersion devices are not available, it is possible to mix Deuteron VT 856 manually into the aqueous phase. It is recommended to fill in Deuteron VT 856 first and then add water bit by bit while stirring, just like in the preparation of a paste. The thickening effect of Deuteron VT 856 does not begin immediately, but with some delay. After a swelling time of 15 minutes and another stirring, the swelling of Deuteron VT 856 should be complete. If, due to improper circumstances, the swelling process should not be complete at that point of time, one can expect a satisfactory result after sovernight storage and repeated agitation. In case of doubt, the optimal swelling time should be determined by means of a small manual test.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Conservation
Aqueous preparations of Deuteron VT 856 should be preserved when they are stored for more than 24 hours. Compatibility is given with preservatives which are customary in the paint industry.
Safety & Health
- Safety Regulations
According to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 Deuteron VT 856 is classified as a dangerous product and therefore needs to be labeled.
Storage & Handling
- Shelf Life
- 6 Months
- Storage Conditions & Package Sizes
Deuteron VT 856 can be stored for at least 6 months at room temperature and dry conditions. An eventual slight formation of serum in Deuteron VT 856 can be easily removed by stirring. For that purpose, shear force is not required. There is no sedimentation.Sheet steel hobbock (25 kg net)
