Applications & Uses

Coating End Applications
Product Applications
  • Bermocoll® Prime 2500 can be used as a rheology modifier in all types of latex paints.
  • Bermocoll® Prime 2500 is recommended when high in-can as well as enhanced application viscosity is required.
  • Bermocoll® Prime 2500 offers enhanced colour and heat stability, and provides excellent colour 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 2500 is easily dispersed in cold water of pH 7 or less.
  • Bermocoll® Prime 2500 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.

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 surfaces.
  • Bermocoll® Prime 2500 is packed in polyethylene plastic bags.
  • Net weight 20 kg.
  • We recommend emptying the bags from the bottom.
  • The empty bags can be recycled or burned.
