Features Of Ashland Benecel 2208K K100LV Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose

  1. Low-viscosity grade optimized for high-solids formulations requiring rapid hydration and low solution viscosity.

  2. Excellent water retention performance in cementitious and gypsum-based systems, reducing cracking and improving workability.

  3. High purity and consistent batch-to-batch reproducibility, meeting stringent pharmaceutical and food-grade processing requirements.

  4. Thermally reversible gelation behavior with good film-forming capability and adhesion to porous substrates.

  5. Non-ionic, stable across broad pH range (3–11), and compatible with common surfactants, salts, and biocides.

Typical Applications Of Ashland Benecel 2208K K100LV Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose

  1. Cement-based tile adhesives and grouts for enhanced open time and sag resistance.

  2. Self-leveling underlayments and repair mortars requiring controlled flow and minimal shrinkage.

  3. Pharmaceutical immediate-release tablet binders and film-coating suspensions.

  4. Water-based architectural coatings as rheology modifier and coalescing aid.

  5. Food-grade thickening and stabilizing agent in dairy alternatives and plant-based beverages.
