Paint - WALOCEL™ XM 6000

Low Viscosity Modified Hydroxyethyl Methyl Cellulose

Description:

WALOCEL™ XM grades were developed to offer an excellent balance between thickening efficiency, spatter and leveling performance combined with a lower risk of foaming. The low viscosity grade is recommended when excellent performance in leveling, film build, spatter resistance and longer open time is required.

Used in:

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

Advantages:

Optimized rheology profile for excellent flow and leveling
Excellent resistance to spattering
Excellent film-build up
Clear Solution
Prolonged open time
