It improves the consistency, the stability, and the water retention of water based products. Specifications BERMOCOLL CST 291 is a low viscosity grade of ethyl hydroxyethyl cellulose. Physical data Appearance Particle size Water content whitish powder 98 % < 425 µm max 5 % Characteristics of aqueous solutions pH (1 % solution) Surface activity Viscosity at 20°C (Brookfield LV) 2 % solution neutral weak 2,200 ± 450 mPa.s Applications BERMOCOLL CST 291 is used for thickening and stabilizing effects in latex paints. Normal dosage is 0.4 - 0.8 % calculated on the total weight. BERMOCOLL CST 291 is easily dispersed in cold water of pH 7 of less. BERMOCOLL CST 291 can form lumps when added to an alkaline liquid. To avoid this, it should be added as a ready stock solution, as a slurry in slightly 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. Non-ionic, Low viscosity grade of ethyl hydroxyethyl cellulose.
