Lorama Protective Colloid 60 (LPC™ 60) is a polysaccharide based natural product that is a water dispersible non-ionic polymer in the form of a non-hazardous free flowing powder. LPC™ 60 increases the stability of the latex emulsion made from polyvinyl acetate (PVA) and its copolymers. It reduces raw material cost through partial replacement of Hydroxy Ethyl Cellulose (HEC) or Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVOH) in the manufacturing of latex mulsions. It provides steric stabilization of latex particles and increases the viscosity of the water phase to prevent agglomeration. LPC™ 60 also boasts an outstanding tolerance to salts and other electrolytes, and prevents coagulation of paint upon freezing..
