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.

- Note
Bermocoll® EHM 300 is a hydrophobically modified ethyl hydroxyethyl cellulose.
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.
