Deuteron ES 222 is a surface active additive. Its presence in a mixture of unsaturated polyester resin/reactive-solvent (styrene) helps in re­moving air-bubbles. This applies in particular after mixing resin and curing agent. Technologically useful is the improved wetting of the substrate, thus making it easier to release air bubbles from the substrate’s surface.

Because of the above mentioned properties Deuteron ES 222 is an effective wetting and air release agent in particular for laminating resins based on unsaturated polyester. The product is very suitable in laminating resins where excellent adhesion of polyester resins and glass fiber is required. Deuteron ES 222 is also very suitable as an air release agent in other systems based on unsaturated polyester resins.

Because of its cationic character and the extremely high polarity of Deuteron LE 100 LV, the electrical resistance is reduced considerably – even when using small quantities.

Deuteron LE 100 LV is delivered with an active content of 100 %. The product is free of solvent and of low viscosity. It is characterized by ease of handling. Deuteron LE 100 LV can be processed at room temperature and below without melting or producing a master batch. That is why the product is particularly suitable for solvent free systems.

Deuteron LE 100 LV can be used (among others) in PUR-foams (production of shoe-soles), UV- or electron-beam curing screen inks to avoid electrostatic charge.

Deuteron LE 151 is designed to be used as an antistatic agent for polyurethane compounds based on polyester and polyether. These compounds are used in the shoe industry to produce soles with antistatic properties. Deuteron LE 151 is preferred in systems which already contain MEG as a cross-linking component.

Deuteron LE 151 is of high polarity and therefore reduces the electrical resistance of polyurethane-foams considerably – even when using small quantities.

Because of its cationic character and the extremely high polarity of Deuteron LE 512, the electrical resistance is reduced considerably – even when using small quantities.

Deuteron LE 512 is a solid product with an active content of 100 %. Therefore the product is especially suitable in solvent free systems. Deuteron LE 512 is soluble in water and alcohol but insoluble in aliphatic hydrocarbons.

The suitability of Deuteron LE 512 in different systems has to be determined by the user. The product is, for example, very effective in PU-systems. However, products of this chemical family are practically ineffective in epoxy systems.
