WALOCEL™ MW  – grades are hydroxyethyl methyl cellulose (HEMC) thickeners. The strength of these cellulosic thickener grades is their good spatter resistance, good film build and the good leveling properties.

Used In:

  • High to low PVC emulsion paints
  • Interior and exterior paints
  • Mat, silk and semi-gloss paint

Advantages:

  • High thickening efficiency in the high and low shear region
  • Good flow and leveling performance
  • High resistance to in-can layering (syneresis)
  • Good film build
  • Good color development and acceptance
  • Low spattering
