- Chemical Description
Micronized PTFE- (Polytetrafluorethylene) modified polyolefin wax
Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Cure Method
- Ink & Toner Type
- Use Level
- 0.5-2.0%
- Applications
It can be used in all solvent-based lacquer systems and printing inks; both air-drying and stoving. The use of Deuteron-WAX TF also leads to excellent results in powder coatings.
- Dosage
0,5 - 2,0 % (calculated on the complete formulation) depending on binder, application and required properties.
- Processing
Because of its excellent dispersing properties Deuteron-WAX TF can be incorporated into the liquid phase with a simple stirrer. If Deuteron WAX TF has to be ground in a bead mill, attention has to be paid to the mill base temperature. The low melting point of the polyolefin can lead to agglomeration caused by high temperatures and strong solvents present in the system. If Deuteron-WAX TF has to be used in water-based systems, the wetting properties are unsatisfactory because of its hydrophobic character. We suggest to prepare a premix of Deuteron-WAX TF with glycol or with a suitable wetting agent.
