Emcell 1208

Emcell 1208

EMCELL 1208 is a Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (HEC).

EMCELL 1208 is a nonionic water-soluble polymer from wood pulps or cotton linters that can be used for water retention aid and rheology modifier in water-based paints.

EMCELL 1208 is widely used for water-based paints. It provides good pseudoplastic flow and wide compatibility with colored pigments, emulsion polymers, surfactans, emulsifiers, defoamers and preservatives. In order to avoid lump formations caused by a quicker than optimal dissolution rate, EMCELL 1208 is properly treated to achieve optimum hydration time for application.
