Cellulose ethers

BERMOCOLL FLOW

BERMOCOLL FLOW is an associative non-ionic, water-soluble cellulose ether that improves the rheological properties of water based paints. The specifications may be subject to change.

Synthetic polymers

Alcosperse 787

Alcosperse 787 is a novel hydrophobically modified acrylic copolymer dispersing agent developed to help formulators create innovative waterborne paints and coatings with excellent performance characteristics over competitive dispersants such as water mark resistance, alkaline and salt resistance, and other related hydrotropic effects.

Levasil colloidal silica

Levasil CC301

Levasil CC301 is a neutral, aqueous dispersion of colloidal silica that is approximately 28% solids by weight. The silica dispersion is sterically stabilized and the amorphous silica particles carry a negative surface charge. The silica particles are discrete, have a smooth, spherical shape, and are present in a narrow particle size distribution. The particles have also been surface modified with an epoxy silane. “Hydroxyl number” for 2-pack systems; 0.45 mole OH/kg product. The physical appearance of the dispersion is a clear liquid, slightly more viscous than water. Levasil CC301 is produced for world-wide distribution.
