Deuteron® Wax A

• Deuteron® Wax A is a micronized amide wax for excellent velvet surface feel, sand ability and grain enhancement (Anfeuerung). Deuteron® Wax A is a universal product that can be used in solvent based, water based, 100 % (e.g. UV curable) systems and powder coatings.
• In oven cured coatings (e.g. can coatings or powder coat- ings) Deuteron® Wax A leads to excellent meat-release properties (can coatings) or in combination with Benzoin to outstanding degassing (powder coatings).

Deuteron® Wax A is suitable for a wide range of applications including:

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

The use of Deuteron® Wax A especially improves performance in:

• Velvet surface feel (soft touch)
• Sanding properties
• Long lasting wood grain enhancement (clear coats)
• Degassing (Powder coatings)
• Meat-release properties (Can coatings)

Dosage

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

Processing

• Deuteron® Wax A 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.
• The addition of Deuteron® Wax A in water-based coatings can be critical and high shear forces can be necessary to ensure a proper dispersion. For water-based coatings please check also our highly concentrated and easy to use Deuteron® WD A.
