1 of 86 products in this brand
Deuteron WAX PP is a micronized poly-propylene wax characterized by a fine particle size distribution and good ease of dispersion.It can be used in all solvent-based lacquer systems and printing inks; both air-drying and stoving. The use of Deuteron WAX PP 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. Deuteron WAX PP has been designed specifically for incorporation in lacquers and coatings using high speed stirring only. This makes the production process more economic.
