Bermocoll EHM 300 (Ethyl hydroxyethyl cellulose)

About this product

Bermocoll® EHM 300 is associative non-ionic, water-soluble cellulose ether that improves the rheological properties of water based paints.

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

Applications: Bermocoll® EHM 300 is used as a thickener in all types of latex paints, intended for interior as well as for exterior use. Bermocoll® EHM 300 improves high shear viscosity, roller spatter, flow and levelling. Bermocoll® EHM 300 has a high resistance to enzymatic degradation. Normal dosage is 0.3 - 0.5 % calculated on the total paint weight. In order to facilitate dispersion in water, Bermocoll® EHM 300 has been treated to give a pH-dependent dissolving.

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

Product data sheet (Paints, coatings and inks, 2022-7-18): Applications: Bermocoll® EHM 300 is used as a thickener in all types of latex paints, intended for interior as well as for exterior use.

Storage: In unopened bags, Bermocoll® EHM 300 can be stored for several years. In opened bags, the moisture content of Bermocoll® EHM 300 will be influenced by the air humidity. At temperatures above 250 °C (480 °F), charring of Bermocoll® EHM 300 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® EHM 300 is packed in in 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® EHM 300 will burn slowly with the characteristics of cellulose.
