Deuteron OG 8670, along with its related products OG 8672 and OG 8674, is a series of fine PMU (Polymethyl urea) particle dispersions in water offered by Deuteron GmbH, a company specializing in innovative additives for the coating industry.
These products are designed to offer various benefits in water-borne systems, particularly in applications such as inks, wood coatings, can coatings, and metal coatings. Some of the properties and benefits provided by the Deuteron OG 867x additives include:
- Reduced COF (Coefficient of Friction): These additives contribute to reducing friction, enhancing surface smoothness, and improving scratch and polishing resistance.
- Surface Protection: They offer protection to surfaces against wear and tear, enhancing their durability.
- Low Impact on Gloss Level: Even at low dosages, these additives maintain high gloss levels of the coated surfaces.
- Matting Effects: At higher dosages, they can create matte finishes, particularly suitable for thin layer applications.
- Pleasant Surface Haptics: They provide a pleasing tactile feel to the coated surfaces.
- Recoatability: The additives facilitate easy recoating of surfaces without issues.
- Temperature Resistance: They exhibit good temperature resistance, making them suitable for applications where the coated surfaces may be exposed to elevated temperatures.
- Mimic Wax Effects: They can mimic wax effects without the negative influence of waxes, providing desired aesthetics without compromising on performance.
- Biodegradability: These additives are based on a biodegradable polymer, which aligns with environmentally friendly practices.
The dosage of Deuteron OG 8670 and its variants typically ranges from 1.0% to 5.0%, but the exact amount needed depends on various factors such as the type of binder used, additives present, solvent content, layer thickness, and film shrinkage. It's recommended to determine the appropriate dosage through practical testing.
The products are supplied in water-based dispersions or pastes, making them easy to incorporate into formulations using common high-speed stirrers. They should be added while stirring to prevent agglomeration caused by concentration differences.
Deuteron GmbH assures the safety of these products, classifying them as non-dangerous according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008. Detailed safety information can be found in the Safety Data Sheet and Regulatory Information Sheet available on their website.
In summary, Deuteron OG 8670 and its variants offer a range of properties and benefits that cater to the needs of the coating industry, providing solutions for enhancing surface properties and performance in various applications.
