Deuteron WAX MPO

DEUTERON-WAX MPO is a micronized polyolefin wax, which comes in the form of a fine white powder. Here's a summary of its key features and applications:

Chemical Description: Micronized polyolefin wax.

Physical Data:

• • Appearance: Fine white powder.
  • Bulk Density: Approximately 280 g/l.
  • Specific Weight: Approximately 0.91 g/cm³.
  • Melting Point: Approximately 110°C.
  • Particle Size: Approximately 5 microns on average.

Properties:

• • Characterized by a fine particle size distribution and good ease of dispersion.
  • Resistant to settling, which helps in retarding the settling of pigments and fillers and assists in their redispersion.
  • Specifically designed for incorporation in lacquers and coatings using high-speed stirring only, making the production process more economical.
  • Imparts excellent buff resistance and slip properties, resulting in a durable, semi-gloss finish when used alone or with silica.

Application: Suitable for use in all types of furniture and wood lacquers, metal decorating, coil applications, and powder coatings.

Dosage: Typically used at a dosage of 0.5% to 5.0% calculated on the complete formulation, depending on binder, application, and required properties.

Processing: Due to its excellent dispersing properties, it can be incorporated into the liquid phase with a simple stirrer. For water-based systems, a premix with a suitable wetting agent or glycol is recommended due to its hydrophobic character.

Storage Conditions: Can be stored for at least 24 months at room temperature and dry conditions.

Package Sizes: Available in paper bags weighing 15 kg net.

Safety Regulations: Not classified as a dangerous product according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008. However, measures for dust protection and avoiding the buildup of electrostatic charge are recommended due to the fine fractions of the product.
