Applications & Uses
- Coating End Applications
- Product Applications
- Bermocoll® Prime 1000 can be used as a rheology modifier in all types of latex paints.
- Bermocoll® Prime 1000 is recommended when high in-can as well as enhanced application viscosity is required.
- Bermocoll® Prime 1000 offers enhanced color and heat stability, and provides excellent color acceptance even with colorants that are known to be problematic.
- Normal dosage is 0.2 - 0.7 % calculated on the total paint weight.
- Bermocoll® Prime 1000 is easily dispersed in cold water of pH 7 or less.
- Bermocoll® Prime 1000 can form lumps when added to an alkaline liquid. To avoid this, it should be added as a ready stock solution, as 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.
