Deuteron® OG 8820

Polymethyl urea resin. Has high hardness and abrasion resistance. Is resistant to most standard solvents used in coatings and has good thermal stability to over 200°C. Improves the static and dynamic friction of the coatings as well as provides improved mechanical resistance. Compared to wax-based additives, it does not adversely affect the ability of surfaces to be recoated. The effect on the gloss differs considerably and depends on the particular additive, film thickness, binder content and dose. Used for application in radiation curing coatings and printing inks. They are particularly recommended for use in systems that are applied very thinly, for example printing inks and overprinting lacquers. Coatings ranging from silky to matt which contain silica as a matting agent and whose surface resistance is inadequate can be optimised by employing this additive. Dosage: A guide value of 1.0% can be used as a starting value.
