- Product Highlights
- Deuteron® LE 50 UV is a conductivity additive based on tetraalkylammonium ethyl sulfate. The use of our an- ti-static additives allows the adjustment of the surface and volume resistivity in various systems. The effect of Deuteron®’s anti-static additives is mainly based on surface migration and the ionic character of the cations.
- Deuteron® LE 50 UV is a liquid product diluted in DPGDA.
- In UV and EB curable systems the use of Deuteron® LE 50 UV leads to a significant reduction of resistivity and prevents the build-up of electrostatic charge.
- The products are miscible in all solvent mixtures com- monly used in coatings, partly slight turbidity can occur. Because of its lower active content Deuteron® LE 50 UV carries a less critical GHS labeling.
Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Use Level
- 0.2 - 5 %
- Application and Dosage Information
Deuteron® LE 50 UV is suitable for solvent containing or 100 % UV or EB curing systems to reduce the possibility of electrostatic charges.
Typical applications include:
- Anti-static floor coatings
- Label printing
- Foil coatings
- Textile printing (especially small labels)
Dosage
- Typical addition level: 0.2 % - 5 %
- The exact quantities to be used depend on the system and must be determined individually for the intended application.
Processing
Deuteron® LE products can be added to the system at any time during the production process or they can be used as post addition additives to further adjust resistivity.
