Deuteron® MK-F7 is a high-performance powder designed for use in both waterborne and solventborne coatings. As a PTFE alternative, it offers exceptional benefits such as enhanced surface smoothness, friction reduction, and improved mechanical and chemical resistance. This product also provides excellent scratch resistance, polishing resistance, and temperature resistance, making it suitable for demanding applications. It is a biodegradable additive that contributes to environmental compliance. With a high surface area, it functions as a matting agent, delivering a soft touch and blocking resistance for coatings. It is ideal for applications requiring superior performance and durability.

Product Applications
  • Deuteron MK matting agents 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 materials to further improve their properties.
  • Because of the wide range of available particle sizes the Deuteron MK range is suitable for thin and thick film applications.
  • Especially the very fine Deuteron MK-F6 and MK-F7 variants are suitable for extremely thin-film applications.

Technical Details & Test Data

Product Processing Information
  • The PMU chemistry in general is highly compatible in a wide range of systems.
  • Due to that Deuteron MK matting 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 processes but should not be ground in a bead mill.
