    Notes:
    BERMOCOLL EHM Extra is a specialty hydrophobically modified methyl ethyl hydroxyethyl cellulose.
    Applications
    BERMOCOLL EHM Extra can be used as a thickener in all types of latex paints, both in interior and exterior formulations.
    BERMOCOLL EHM Extra improves high shear viscosity, roller spatter, flow and leveling. BERMOCOLL EHM Extra offers
    enhanced color and heat stability, good color acceptance with minimal flocculation even when the most problematic
    colorants are used. Normal dosage is 0.1 to 0.8%, calculated on the total paint weight. In order to facilitate dispersion in
    water, BERMOCOLL EHM Extra has been treated to give a pH-dependent dissolving.It should be added to neutral or slightly
    acid water. To speed up the dissolving process, pH should be increased to above 8 by using alkaline ingredients such as
    ammonia or alkaline pigment dispersants.If adjustment of the final paint viscosity is necessary, a highly concentrated
    slurry either in water or in an organic solvent should be used. It is not recommended to add the product as a dry powder
    after pigment grinding, due to the risk of lump formation at alkaline conditions.

    Storage
    Unopened bags of BERMOCOLL EHM Extra can be stored for several years in a cool, dry place. In opened bags, the
    moisture content of BERMOCOLL EHM Extra will be influenced by the air humidity. At temperatures above 250 °C (480 °F),
    charring of BERMOCOLL EHM Extra will occur.

    Packaging and transport


    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 surface.BERMOCOLL EHM Extra is packed in polyethylene bags. Net weight 20 kg bags are available. We
    recommend emptying the bags from the bottom. The empty bags can be recycled or burned.

    Safety and handling


    At high temperatures and in contact with an open flame, BERMOCOLL EHM Extra will burn slowly with the characteristics
    of cellulose
