Bermocoll E 230 X Ethyl hydroxyethyl cellulose Akzo Nobel Rheology Modifier/ Thickener >> Cellulosic, non associative >> Hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) Coatings >> Waterborne BERMOCOLL E 230 X is a nonionic, water soluble cellulose ether. It improves the consistency, the stability, and the water retention of water based products Specifications BERMOCOLL E 230 X IS low viscosity grades of ethyl hydroxyethyl cellulose. Physical data Appearance Particle size Water content Salt content whitish powder 98 % < 425 µm max 5 % max 5 % Characteristics of aqueous solutions pH (1 % solution) Surface activity Viscosity at 20°C (Brookfield LV) 2 % Solution neutral weak 300 ± 60 mPa.s Applications BERMOCOLL E 230 X is used for thickening and stabilizing effects in mortars and other building glues. BERMOCOLL E 230 X is also used as a dispersing, binding and stabilizing agent for powder materials dispersed in water. The simultaneous viscosity increase is moderate. Normal dosage is 0.4 - 0.8 % calculated on the dry mortar weight. BERMOCOLL E 230 X is also used in gypsum based crack fillers. For this application, a suitable concentration is about 1 %. BERMOCOLL E 230 X is intended for dry mixing with other powder materials and should not be used for direct dissolving in water.
