Emcell 1209

Emcell C1209 (HEC) which is used to support water-holding and as a rheology modifier in water-based paints, is a water-soluble polymer with a high degree of viscosity. It is in a class that has biostability in solution against enzymatic attack

EMCELL C1209 is widely used for water-based paints. Colored pigments provide good pseudoplastic fluidity and wide compatibility with emulsion polymers, surfactants, emulsifiers, defoamers and preservatives. To avoid lump formations that may occur faster than optimal dissolution rate, EMCELL C1209 is properly processed to achieve optimum hydration time for application.
