1 of 86 products in this brand
Deuteron WAX MPO is a micronized polyolefin wax characterized by a fine particle size distribution and good ease of dispersion.The use of Deuteron WAX MPO also leads to excellent results in powder coatings.The dispersed wax shows resistance to settling. Additionally it retards the settling of pigments and fillers and assists in their redispersion. The product has been designed specifically for incorporation in lacquers and coatings using high speed stirring only. This makes the production process more economic.

Applications

It can be used in all types of furniture and wood lacquers, in metal decorating and coil applications. The use of Deuteron-WAX MPO also leads to excellent results in powder coatings.

Dosage

0,5 - 5,0 % (calculated on the complete formulation) depending on binder, application and required properties.

Processing

Because of its excellent dispersing properties Deuteron-WAX MPO can be incorporated into the liquid phase with a simple stirrer. If Deuteron-WAX MPO has to be used in waterbased systems, the wetting properties are unsatisfactory because of its hydrophobic character. We suggest to prepare a premix of DeuteronWAX MPO with a suitable wetting agent or glycol.
