- Applications
Deuteron VT 920 is suitable for use as a thickening agent and stabilizing additive for lacquers, foodstuffs, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. It can be used for all aqueous coating systems and technical applications such as dispersion paints and plasters, glues, water-miscible paints, printing inks, silicate paint, as well as pigment and filler preparations. Deuteron VT 920 meets the requirements of the Food Chemical Codex (FCC), of the criteria of the EU (E415), 21 CFR § 172.695 (USA), of the JECFA Guidelines, of the European Pharmacopeia (Ph. Eur.), of the US Pharmacopeia (USP), and Japans Specifications and Stand.ards for Food Additives.
- Dosage
Depending on the requirement 0.1-0.5% calculated based on the water content. Solutions should not contain more than 1% Deuteron VT 920. Considerably higher concentrations ensure no homogenous dispersion.
- Processing
Owing to its particular delivery form as a granulate, it can be dosed easily, evenly and with very little dust, which prevents clump formation. It can be incorporated with limited shear forces. The maximum viscosity is reached already after the relatively short mixing time of 5-10 minutes.

Safety & Health
- Safety Regulations
According to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 Deuteron VT 920 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 VT 920 can be stored for at least 24 months at room temperature and dry conditions. Deuteron VT 920 should be stored cool (max. 30°C) and dry (max. 70% relative humidity) in closed packages.Cardboard box with plastic inliner (15kg net)
