Applications & Uses

- Product Applications
- Bermocoll® EHM 200 is used as a thickener in all types of latex paints, intended for interior as well as for exterior use.
- Bermocoll® EHM 200 improves high shear viscosity, roller spatter, flow and levelling.
- Bermocoll® EHM 200 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 200 has been treated to give a pH-dependent dissolving.It should be added to neutral or slightly acid water. To speed up the dissolving process, pH should be increased to above 8 by using alkaline ingredients such as ammonia or alkaline pigment dispersants.If adjustment of the final paint viscosity is necessary, a highly concentrated slurry either in water or in an organic solvent should be used. It is not recommended to add the product as a dry powder after pigment grinding. Under the alkaline pH conditions at that stage Bermocoll® EHM 200 will dissolve too rapidly with the risk of lump formation.
