Whether you are developing a new product or looking to improve an existing formulation, you'll find a METHOCEL™ methylcellulose (MC) or hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) product that meets your needs. METHOCEL cellulose ethers include a variety of products ranging from water-soluble to organosoluble.
Benefits of using METHOCEL™ In Industrial Applications
- Excellent rheology modifier (thickener), binder, film former, water-retention agent, suspension aid, surfactant, lubricant, protective colloid, and emulsifier.
- Highly efficient at achieving optimum performance at a lower concentration than other water-soluble polymers.
- Multi-functional properties promote cost-effectiveness; typically two or more ingredients are required to do the same job performed by a single METHOCEL product.
- Viscosity Grades from 3 to 100,000 mPa*s make it easy to use a concentration that gives the desired level of other performance properties.
- Available as Powder, Surface-treated Powders, and Granular Form for further formulating versatility.
Why settle for good enough, when you can count on the exact properties you need?
As a market leader in methylcellulosics, IFF's Methocel portfolio covers a broad range of chemistries and viscosities. The following table shows typical standard industrial grades; however, there are many custom grades available upon request.
