- Key Attributes
Bermocoll Prime has been developed as the next generation of cellulose ethers. It can be used in all types of latex paints ranging from low to high PVC. This new product is suitable for all types of interior and exterior paints and the advantages are most apparent in flat to semigloss finishes.
Performance advantages:
- Advanced color compatibility and rheology control to enhance touch up properties.
- Optimal rheology profile.
- Versatile.
Superior Color Stability and Excellent Color Development
Excellent color stability is achieved with Bermocoll Prime within a wide range of colorants and latex binders. Bermocoll Prime is designed with particular attention to color acceptance and color development and offers reliable color performance. This means that the color appears in a uniform homogenous manner and at the expected color strength. Color acceptance is related to the compatibility, distribution and stability of the colorant in the base paint.
Efficient Thickening and Good Stability at Low Addition Rate
Paints formulated with Bermocoll Prime show very stable and constant viscosity even when stored at elevated temperatures and are very versatile with respect to compatibility with different kinds of binders.

- 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 surfaces.BERMOCOLL Prime 1000 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
- At high temperatures and in contact with an open flame, BERMOCOLL Prime 1000 will burn slowly with the characteristics of cellulose.
- Storage Conditions
- In unopened bags, BERMOCOLL Prime 1000 can be stored for several years. In opened bags, the moisture content of BERMOCOLL Prime 1000 will be influenced by the air humidity. At the temperatures above 250 °C (480 °F), charring of BERMOCOLL Prime 1000 will occur.
