Paints & Coatings

Product Description

Water-based paints are mainly used for the protective and decorative coating of interior walls and ceilings but are also used for exterior applications.Paints, in particular with a high pigment volume concentration, owe their good processing properties to hecocell® HEC.

Consistency for application

Water retention;

Binding power;

Storage stability ;

Furthermore, open time, spattering, levelling, hiding power and film formation of the coating material are enhanced by the use of cellulose ethers.

Exterior paints are used for decorative design as well as for protecting surfaces from the destructive influences of weathering. Suitable substrates include renders (mineral and polymer based), concrete, brickwork and other coatings.

Exterior emulsion-based paints protect the subsurface by forming a sealed, flexible film. This coating film has low water vapour permeability and acts as an effective barrier against acidic gases (carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide). Because of the reduced water absorption, the facade is protected for many years against damaging effects of water and driving rain. Exterior emulsion-based paints can be coloured with all types of weather-resistant organic and inorganic pigments. Hecocell® is mainly used as rheological modifier and enhances the film formation of the binder.

Hecocell® HE and HM grades with a medium viscosity level are recommended

Interior Paints.

Interior emulsion paints, often just referred to as interior paints, belong to the group of most commonly used coatings. Apart from their decorative and protective properties, they facilitate the cleaning of interior walls and ceilings.

Hecocell® is mainly added to enhance workability, brushability, tinter effects, coating over and spraying. It also influences scrub resistance, gloss and the rheological behavior.
