Bermocoll EBM 10000A (Methyl ethyl hydroxyethyl cellulose)

About this product

Bermocoll® EBM 10000A is a non-ionic, water soluble cellulose ether with enhanced enzyme resistance. 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: Methyl ethyl hydroxyethyl cellulose

Applications: Bermocoll® EBM 10000A is used in latex paints for efficient thickening and stabilizing effects, particularly when high storage viscosity combined with low application viscosity is required. Normal dosage is 0.2 - 0.7 % calculated on the total paint weight.Bermocoll® EBM 10 000A is easily dispersed in cold water of pH 7 or less. Bermocoll® EBM 10 000A can form lumps when added to an alkaline liquid. To avoid this, it should be added as a ready stock solution, as a 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

In opened bags, the moisture content of Bermocoll® EBM 10000A will be influenced by the air humidity. At the temperatures above 250‚°C (480‚°F), charring of Bermocoll® EBM 10000A 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® EBM 10000A is packed in polyethylene plastic 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® EBM 10000A will burn slowly with the characteristics of cellulose.
