LPC™ 60

Lorama Protective Colloid 60 (LPC60) is a polysaccharide based natural product. It is a water dispersible non-ionic polymer in the form of a non-hazardous free flowing powder. It is non-toxic and environment friendly. It increases the stability of the latex emulsion made from polyvinyl acetate (PVA) and its copolymers. It provides steric stabilization of latex particles and increases the viscosity of the water phase to prevent agglomeration. It also boasts an outstanding tolerance to salts and other electrolytes and prevents coagulation of paint upon freezing. It reduces raw material cost through replacement of up to 60% of hydroxy ethyl cellulose (HEC) and PVOH in the manufacturing of latex emulsions. Used in vinyl acetate acrylic copolymer and vinyl acetate VEOVA copolymers.
