Deuteron PMH M is micronized duromeric plastic powders used as matting agents in various coating applications. These products are based on PMU (Polymethyl urea) and are synthesized in a unique way to achieve a balance between compact and amorphous particle structures. This balance makes them effective matting agents with minimal impact on viscosity and porosity.
These matting agents can be used in a wide range of coating applications, including waterborne, solvent-borne, and 100% systems. They can be used alone or in combination with other materials to enhance properties such as matting effect, scratch resistance, chemical resistance, and temperature resistance.
Key features and benefits of Deuteron PMH matting agents include:
The dosage of these matting agents typically ranges from 1% to 15%, depending on the specific system and application parameters. It's recommended to determine the appropriate dosage through practical testing.
Deuteron PMH F and PMH M have similar characteristics but differ slightly in particle size distribution. They are easy to incorporate into systems using high-speed stirrers without the need for specific wetting agents or dispersing aids. However, they should not be ground in a bead mill.
These products have a shelf life of 24 months when stored at room temperature and dry conditions, with a maximum storage temperature of 35 °C.
Deuteron GmbH, the manufacturer of these matting agents, provides detailed safety information and technical data sheets for their products, which can be accessed on their website.
