Bermocoll in Paint

 

We at AkzoNobel have served the paint industry for more than 50 years with Bermocoll, a range of non-ionic dellulose ethers. Bermocoll is used as a thickener, stabilizer and water retaining agent for water-based decorative paints.

Bermocoll is available in a wide range of viscosities, and variety of modified grades. When we manufacture Bermocoll, the celllulose reacts with different substituents such as methyl, ethyl, hydroxyethyl, or hydrophobic groups. This process is called etherfication and it makes Bermocoll water soluble.

Bermocoll E grades are ethyl hydroxyethyl cellulose

Bermocoll EM grade is an ethyl methyl hydroxyethyl cellulose ether, and is a high efficiency thickener

Bermocoll EBS and EBM grades are resistant against enzymatic attack

Bermocoll EHM grades are hydrophobically modified EHEC and are resistant against enzymatic attack
