Applications & Uses

Coating End Applications
Product 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.

Packaging & Availability

Packaging Type
Packaging Information
  • 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.

Storage & Handling

Storage Conditions
  • 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.
