Deuteron® Wax PE

Deuteron® Wax PE is suitable for a wide range of applica- tions including:

• Wood and joinery coatings
• Flexographic and gravure inks
• Overprint varnishes
• Metal coatings (can and coil coatings)
• Powder coatings

The use of Deuteron® Wax PE especially improves perfor- mance in:

• Abrasion and scratch resistance
• Rub resistance (printing inks)
• Matting (conventional coatings and powder coatings)
• COF (coefficient of friction) reduction

Dosage

• 0.5 - 3.0 % (calculated on the complete formulation) depending on binder, application and required properties.

Processing

• Deuteron® Wax PE is easy to disperse and can be incorpo- rated using a common high-speed stirrer. In low viscous systems it might be necessary to use a high shear dispersing unit to properly disperse the material. Process temperature should be kept below 45°C (113°F) It is possible to prepare a pre-mix of Deuteron® Wax PE in a solvent phase at concentrations around 30 – 45 % (depending on the used solvents).

• Paper bag (15 kg net)

• 24 months at room temperature and dry conditions.
• Storage temperature should not exceed 35°C.
