Bermocoll E 320 FQ (Ethyl hydroxyethyl cellulose)

About this product

Bermocoll® E 320 FQ is a non-ionic, water soluble cellulose ether. It improves the consistency, the stability, and the water retention of water based products.

Brand: Bermocoll® Chemical family: Cellulose ether Chemical name: Ethyl hydroxyethyl cellulose

Applications: Bermocoll® E 320 FQ is used in latex paints, particularly for stabilizing the dispersion state with only moderate simultaneous viscosity increase. Normal dosage is 0.5-0.8 % calculated on the total paint weight. Bermocoll® E 320 FQ is easily dispersed in cold water of pH 7 or less. Bermocoll® E 320 FQ can form lumps when added to an alkaline liquidTo avoid this, it should be added as a ready stock solution, as slurry in slight acid water or in an organic solvent, or as a dry mix with other powder materials.The dissolving time after dispersion is influenced by the water pH. Alkaline additives can be used to speed up the dissolving process.

Market segment: Paints, coatings and inks Functions: Thickener, Water retention, Binder, Dispersing Agent, Rheology Modifier, Stabilizer Applications: Paints and Coatings, Building

In opened bags, the moisture content of Bermocoll® E 320 FQ will be influenced by the air humidity. At the temperatures above 250 °C (480 °F), charring of Bermocoll® E 320 FQ will occur. Packaging and transport: Like many industrial processed powdery materials, cellulose ether dusts are combustible and can cause dust explosions. Dust formation must be avoided or kept to a minimum. Care should be taken to prevent ignition from heat, spark, open flames or hot surface. Bermocoll® E 320 FQ is packed in a polyethylene bags. Net weight 20 kg. We recommend emptying the bags from the bottom. The empty bags can be recycled or burned. Safety and handling: At high temperatures and in contact with an open flame, Bermocoll® E 320 FQ will burn slowly with the characteristics of cellulose.
