Thickeners of Akzo Nobel:  Bermocoll cellulose thickeners for water-based systems and construction products. Standard, enhanced-biostable, and hydropobically modified (associative) cellulosic thickeners.  Bermocoll EHEC is available in a range of viscosity grades.  The EBS grades are enhanced biostable to resist enzyme attack. The EHM grades are hydrophobically modified and combine the performance of a low viscosity EHEC with the rheological properties of synthetic associative thickeners.

Bermocoll EHEC and MEHEC are also used in a range of construction products, including tile adhesive, plaster, and joint filler.

Bermodol PUR products are polyurethane-based associative thickeners are available with a range of hydrophobic associations (efficiencies), and include three solvent-free grades.
