Chemical Description: Tetraalkylammoniumethylsulphate 80% solution in n-butanol.
Physical Data:
Properties: Due to its cationic character and high polarity, DEUTERON LE 80 significantly reduces the electrical resistance of organic solvents and their mixtures even in small quantities. It is soluble in all common lacquer solvent mixtures, sometimes appearing slightly cloudy.
Application: DEUTERON LE 80 finds use in various applications including air-drying primers and coatings, baking enamels, 2-compound systems, and wood finishes.
Dosage: The dosage varies depending on the polarity of the electrostatic spraying lacquer, typically ranging from 0.2% to 2.5% calculated on the total formulation. The exact dosage should be determined through trials.
Processing: It can be added to the final product with a simple stirrer.
Storage Conditions: DEUTERON LE 80 can be stored in its original tightly closed containers for at least 24 months at room temperature. It solidifies below 0°C but liquefies again when warmed up.
Package Sizes: Available in sheet steel hobbock UniGrip (25 kg net) and steel barrel with lid (185 kg net).
Safety Regulations: Classified as a dangerous product according to regulations and requires labeling. Detailed safety information is available in the safety data sheet provided by the manufacturer.
