Products

Bermocoll is available in a wide range of viscosities, and a variety of modified grades. Cellulose is a natural polymer and the main component is wood pulp or cotton linters. When Nouryon manufactures Bermocoll, the cellulose reacts with a combination of different substituents such as methyl, ethyl, hydroxyethyl and hydrophobic groups. This process, called etherification, makes Bermocoll water soluble.
