Applications & Uses
- Coating End Applications
- Product Applications
- Bermocoll® Prime 3500 can be used as a rheology modifier in all types of latex paints.
- Bermocoll® Prime 3500 is recommended when high in-can as well as enhanced application viscosity is required.
- Bermocoll® Prime 3500 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 3500 is easily dispersed in cold water of pH 7 or less.
- Bermocoll® Prime 3500 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 3500 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.
