METHOCEL™ E15 Food Grade LV

METHOCEL™ E15 Food Grade LV is a water-soluble HPMC polymer that meets food contact requirements. It has a medium level of hydroxypropyl and a high level of methoxy group substitution. It provides a relatively low viscosity of approximately 15 cPs when added at 2% in water, and it is commonly used a rheology modifier, binder, and suspension aid. Solutions containing METHOCEL™ E15 Food Grade LV offer excellent stabilization properties while imparting lubricity and spreadability. METHOCEL™ E15 Food Grade LV is stable across a wide pH range (2–13) and can be used to improve the workability of coating and ink formulations. Problems such as friction of the die wall in pressing operations or the incidence of ceramic part defects can also be addressed utilizing METHOCEL™ E15 Food Grade LV.
