EipponCell HPMC YB510M is a medium viscosity cellulose ether. The process of cellulose ether production involves the use of refined cotton/cotton pulp/wood pulp as the primary raw material, which is alkalineized to obtain cellulose. Subsequently, propylene oxide and methyl chloride were added for etherification, resulting in the formation of cellulose ether. Known as the “industrial monosodium glutamate,” cellulose ether boasts exceptional properties, including solution thickening, excellent water solubility, suspension or latex stability, film forming capability, water retention, and adhesion.
In the case of EipponCell HPMC YB510M, it specifically serves as hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose used in water-based paints and paint removers. This cellulose ether provides valuable benefits in these applications. It aids in thickening the paint solution, ensuring proper consistency and enhanced coverage during application. In addition, it exhibits good water solubility, allowing for easy mixing and preparation of water-based paints. Cellulose ether also helps with suspension stability, preventing pigments from settling and ensuring a uniform distribution throughout the paint. And, it aids in the formation of a durable film on the painted surface, enhancing the longevity and protection of the paint.
Furthermore, EipponCell HPMC YB510M demonstrates excellent water retention, keeping the paint solution in a workable state for an extended period, reducing the risk of drying or skinning. It also provides adhesion properties, promoting strong bonding between the painted surface and the paint film, resulting in improved durability and resistance to peeling or flaking.
