- Ink & Toner Type
- Use Level
- 0.1-0.5%
- Applications
Deuteron VT 819 is suitable for use as a thickener and stabilizing additive for all aqueous coating systems and technical applications such as waterthinnable lacquers, dispersion paints and plasters, glues, printing inks, silicon paints as well as pigments and filler preparations.
- Dosage
Depending on the requirement 0.1-0.5% calculated based on the water content. Solutions should not contain more than 1% Deuteron VT 819. Considerably higher concentrations ensure no homogenous dispersion.
- Processing
Due to its specialized chemical surface treatment, the product tends not to clump. It can be incorporated with low shear forces. Solutions can be created by simply stirring it into water. It should be prepared in neutral to acidic pH-valueranges. The viscosity increases in this case as a function of time until complete swelling occurs. Immediate viscosity build-up can be achieved by alkalizing the solution.
