- Outstanding Efficiency with Excellent Enzyme Resistance
- Our unique and well-proven Bermocoll® EBM 10 000 grade offers outstanding efficiency with excellent enzyme resistance.
- Bermocoll® EBM 10 000 is a high viscosity product with enhanced stability. This unique product is especially appreciated in high PVC formulations like joint compounds, distempers, putties and textured paints due to good compatibility with fillers.
- Bermocoll® EBM 10 000 is versatile with respect to compatibility with different kinds of binders, and the paints formulated are stable even when stored at elevated temperature.
- Key Attributes
Bermocoll® EBM 10 000 is specially developed to meet the demand for a high viscous thickener with an excellent stability against enzymatic attack.
Performance advantages
- High viscosity grades hence highly efficient.
- Outstanding enzyme stability.
- Especially appreciated in high PVC formulations.
- Excellent storage stability and color acceptance
Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Compatible Polymers & Resins
- Coating Type
- Applications
- BERMOCOLL EBM 10 000 is used in latex paints for efficient thickening and stabilizing effects, particularly when high storage viscosity combined with low application viscosity is required. Normal dosage is 0.2 - 0.7 % calculated on the total paint weight.
- .BERMOCOLL EBM 10 000 is easily dispersed in cold water of pH 7 or less. BERMOCOLL EBM 10 000 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 slight 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.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Unique Enzyme Resistance
Bermocoll® EBM 10 000 is specially developed to meet the demand for a high viscous thickener with an excellent stability against enzymatic attack.
- Efficient Thickening and Good Stability
Bermocoll® EBM 10 000 achieves higher Stormer than high viscous HEC products commonly used, when using equal dosage. Using Bermocoll® EBM 10 000 the amount of thickener can be reduced 10 - 15% vs. conventional high viscous HEC products.
Safety & Health
- Safety Information
At high temperatures and in contact with an open flame, Bermocoll EBM 10 000 will burn slowly with the characteristics of cellulose.
Packaging & Availability
- Packaging Type
- Packaging Information
Bermocoll EBM 10 000 is packed in polyethylene plastic bags. Net weight 20 kg. We recommend emptying the bags from the bottom. The empty bags can be recycled or burned.
Storage & Handling
- Storage Conditions
In unopened bags, Bermocoll EBM 10 000 can be stored for several years. In opened bags, the moisture content of BERMOCOLL Prime 3500 will be influenced by the air humidity. At the temperatures above 250 °C (480 °F), charring of BERMOCOLL Prime 3500 will occur. 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 surfaces.
