Deuteron® MK-L

1 of 109 products in this brand
Deuteron® MK-L is an organic duromeric matting agent that finds applications across a broad spectrum of coating formulations, including water-borne, solvent-borne, and 100% systems. These matting agents can serve as stand-alone additives or be combined with other materials to enhance overall performance. They consist of micronized duromeric plastic powders based on PMU (polymethyl urea). The unique synthesis of Deuteron MK matting agents results in highly amorphous particle structures with a comparatively high surface area (BET), making them excellent matting agents.

Product Applications

Deuteron® MK-L can be used in almost all coating applications ranging from water borne and solvent borne to 100 % systems. They can be used as stand-alone additives or in combination with other ma- terials to further improve their properties. Because of the wide range of available particle sizes the Deuteron® MK-L range is suitable for thin and thick film applications.

 

Dosage Information
  • Typical addition range: 1 %–15 %.
  • The required dosage level highly depends on the system (e.g. binder type, additives, solvent content) and appli- cation parameters. Thus, it is highly recommended to determine the needed addition level by a practical ladder study.
Processing Recommendations

The PMU chemistry in general is highly compatible in a wide range of systems. Due to that Deuteron® MK-L mat- ting agents can be incorporated easily by a high-speed stirrer without the need for specific wetting agents or dispersing aids. They are shear stable in high shear pro- cesses but should not be ground in a bead mill.
