Deuteron LE 50 UV

Deuteron LE 50 UV is an antistatic additive primarily composed of tetraalkylammonium ethyl sulfate. It's designed to adjust surface and volume resistivity in various systems. This adjustment is crucial for preventing the build-up of electrostatic charges, particularly in UV and EB curable systems.

The effectiveness of Deuteron LE 50 UV is based on surface migration and the ionic nature of its cations. It's formulated as a liquid diluted in Dipropylene Glycol Diacrylate (DPGDA). This composition makes it compatible with a wide range of solvent mixtures commonly used in coatings, although slight turbidity may occur in some cases.

Applications of Deuteron LE 50 UV include:

• Anti-static floor coatings
• Label printing
• Foil coatings
• Textile printing, especially for small labels

The typical addition level of Deuteron LE 50 UV ranges from 0.2% to 5%, but the exact amount depends on the specific system and intended application. It's important to determine the appropriate quantity individually for each use case.

Characteristics of Deuteron LE 50 UV include its slightly yellowish liquid appearance, approximately 50% active content, viscosity of around 150 mPa*s, density of 1.05 g/cm3, acid number of about 7 mg KOH/g, and cationic ionogenicity.

During processing, Deuteron LE products can be added to the system at any stage of production or used as post-addition additives to fine-tune resistivity.

Storage conditions for Deuteron LE 50 UV require tightly closed original containers at room temperature, with a shelf life of 24 months. If stored at low temperatures, the product may experience viscosity increase or solidification, which can be reversed by gently applying heat (not exceeding 40°C).

Deuteron LE 50 UV is classified as a dangerous product according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 and requires appropriate labeling for safety. Detailed safety information is provided in Safety Data Sheets and Regulatory Information Sheets available on Deuteron's website.
