Deuteron® LE 50 UV

• Deuteron® LE 50 UV is a conductivity additive based on tetraalkylammonium ethyl sulfate. The use of our an- ti-static additives allows the adjustment of the surface and volume resistivity in various systems. The effect of Deuteron®’s anti-static additives is mainly based on surface migration and the ionic character of the cations.
• Deuteron® LE 50 UV is a liquid product diluted in DPGDA.
• In UV and EB curable systems the use of Deuteron® LE 50 UV leads to a significant reduction of resistivity and prevents the build-up of electrostatic charge.
• The products are miscible in all solvent mixtures com- monly used in coatings, partly slight turbidity can occur. Because of its lower active content Deuteron® LE 50 UV carries a less critical GHS labeling. 

Deuteron® LE 50 UV is suitable for solvent containing or 100 % UV or EB curing systems to reduce the possibility of electrostatic charges.

Typical applications include:

• Anti-static floor coatings
• Label printing
• Foil coatings
• Textile printing (especially small labels)

Dosage

• Typical addition level: 0.2 % - 5 %
• The exact quantities to be used depend on the system and must be determined individually for the intended application.

Processing

Deuteron® LE products can be added to the system at any time during the production process or they can be used as post addition additives to further adjust resistivity.

• Steel drum (25 kg netto)
• Steel drum (200 kg netto)

• 24 months in tightly closed original containers at room temperature.
• At low temperatures a viscosity increase or solidification can occur. The product can be regenerated by applying gentle heat. (The temperature should not exceed 40 °C)
