Aqualon™ EC-N10

Aqualon™ EC-N10 distributed by DKSH is a cellulose ether made by the reaction of ethyl chloride with alkali cellulose. It is a pigment dispersant and thixotrope for solvent-borne inks. It is soluble in a wide range of solvents, and flexible over a wide range of temperatures. It shows resistance to alkalies, both dilute and concentrated, and to salt solutions.

• It is compatible with an unusually wide range of resins and plasticizers, including oils and waxes.
• It provides excellent electrical properties combined with good thermal stability, outstanding flexibility and toughness.
• It possesses high dielectric constant and scuff resistance.
• It offers viscosity control and is suitable for magnetic inks.
• The low density of ethylcellulose makes it possible to get greater coverage and greater volume per unit weight than with other cellulose derivatives.
• Aqualon™ EC-N10 is used in lacquers & coatings and is available only in Indonesia.
