Bermocoll E 320 G (Ethyl hydroxyethyl cellulose)

About this product

Bermocoll® E 320 G 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 Regional availability: Global Chemical name: Ethyl hydroxyethyl cellulose

Applications: Bermocoll® E 320 G is used to stabilize aqueous dispersions while avoiding problematic viscosity increase. Suitable dosage should be determined for each application, but is usually less than 0.5% of the total dispersion weight. Bermocoll® E 320 G is used in latex paints for thickening and stabilizing effects. Normal dosage is 0.4 - 0.8 % calculated on the total paint weight. Bermocoll® E 320 G is normally added as a ready stock solution. Bermocoll® E 320 G is also used in aqueous solutions as an adhesive for standard quality wallpapers. 200 g (oz) of Bermocoll® E 320 G in 6 litres (approx 1.5 gallon) of cold water will be just right for 12 paper rolls.Solutions should be prepared by addition of Bermocoll® E 320 G at a moderate rate and with good agitation to avoid lump formation. After dispersion of the grains, the agitation speed may be reduced. The average time to attain a noticeable viscosity increase is 3-5 minutes, and the time for complete dissolving is 20-30 minutes.

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

Storage: In unopened bags, Bermocoll® E 320 G can be stored for several years. In opened bags, the moisture content of Bermocoll® E 320 G will be influenced by the air humidity. At the temperatures above 250 °C (480 °F), charring of Bermocoll® E 320 G 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 G is packed in a polyethylene bag. 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 G will burn slowly with the characteristics of cellulose.
