Deuteron® UV RS20

1 of 109 products in this brand
Deuteron® UV RS20 comprises a unique wax dispersion formulated in DPGDA (dipropyleneglycolediacylate) as a reactive thinner. Its purpose is to enhance surface smoothness and improve the resistance to abrasion and scrubbing in UV coatings and printing inks. The application of Deuteron® UV RS20 results in surfaces with pleasant and silky-soft tactile properties.

Applications

Deuteron® UV RS20 is suitable for all 100 % UV curing coatings and printing inks in particular for solvent-free systems.

The use of Deuteron® UV RS20 especially improves performance in:

  • Smooth / slip surface properties
  • Very low impact on viscosity
  • Water-repellent surfaces
  • Mechanical properties
  • No adverse effect on flexibility

Dosage

  • 1 - 15 % (calculated on the complete formulation) depending on binder, application and required properties.
  • The optimum dosage can vary significantly and is highly dependent on the used resins, monomers and initiators.

Processing

  • The incorporation should be done without shear forces only with a stirrer at a late stage of production to avoid foaming. Grinding processes should be avoided. It can be added either pre-diluted or pure.
