- Product Highlights
- Deuteron® LE 50 is conductivity additives based on tetraalkylammonium ethyl sulfate. The use of our anti-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 is are liquid products diluted in 1-Butanol. Due to their cationic character and the associated extremely high polarity, the products dissolved in butanol considerably reduce the electrical resistance of organic solvents and their mixtures.
- The products are miscible in all solvent mixtures commonly used in coatings, partly slight turbidity can occur. Because of its lower active content Deuteron® LE 50 carries a less critical GHS labeling.
Applications & Uses
- Use Level
- 0.3 - 4 %.
- Application and Dosage Information
- Deuteron® LE 50 is mainly developed to adjust the resistivity of electrostatic spray paints. They can be used in air-drying as well as forced-drying primers and top coats. For use in isocyanate-systems the proportion of hydroxy groups of the Butanol can be taken in consideration.
Dosage
- Deuteron® LE 50: approx. 0.3 % to 4 %.
- 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.
