Description:

Latex paint is one of the water-based coatings, which is prepared by adding pigments, fillers and various additives to synthetic resin emulsion as the base material. Latex paint is widely used in housing building environmental protection coatings because of its rapid film formation, shorten the construction period, save construction costs, excellent air permeability, environmental protection, no odor, and brushproof.

Our cellulose ether is a highly effective non-ionic thickener, water retaining agent and rheological agent, which can be widely used in all kinds of water-based latex paints and surface coatings. It has good biological stability and can provide superior resistance to biological and chemical degradation

The role of cellulose ether in Paints And Coatings:

1. Adjust the fluidity and film thickness of the coating,

Cellulose ether can be used as a thickening agent in coatings, regulating the viscosity and rheological properties of coatings, improving the uniformity and coverage of coatings

2. Strong adhesion

Cellulose ether has excellent bonding properties, so that the coating can adhere to the substrate surface better. Enhance the binding force between the coating film and the substrate, reduce falling off, peeling.

3. Keep the paint open longer

Cellulose ether has good water retention properties, can absorb and retain the water in the paint, to prevent premature water loss during the construction process. Makes construction easier and reduces paint drying time.

4. Improve the flow performance of the paint

Cellulose ether can be used as an anti-drip agent in coatings to prevent the paint from dripping on vertical surfaces. This is very important for vertical painting or hanging paint to reduce paint waste and uneven painting.

5. Adjust the pH value in the paint

Cellulose ether has certain buffering properties, which keeps its PH in a suitable range. This helps to stabilize the performance of the paint and prevent acid-base reactions or other undesirable changes in the paint.
