Features Of Ashland Benecel A15 LV PH PRM Methylcellulose

  1. Low-viscosity grade optimized for high-solids formulations and efficient mixing without excessive shear sensitivity.

  2. pH-stable performance across a broad range (pH 3–11), ensuring consistent rheology in acidic and alkaline systems.

  3. Premier-grade purity with tightly controlled residual solvents and heavy metals, meeting stringent pharmaceutical and personal care requirements.

  4. Excellent cold-water dispersibility and rapid hydration kinetics, minimizing processing time and gel lump formation.

  5. Non-ionic, non-ionic surfactant-compatible, and compatible with common electrolytes and preservatives.

Typical Applications Of Ashland Benecel A15 LV PH PRM Methylcellulose

  1. Topical pharmaceutical gels and ointments requiring transparent, non-irritating, and pH-robust viscosity control.

  2. Stabilizing agent in aqueous-based cosmetic emulsions, including facial serums and sun care lotions.

  3. Rheology modifier in water-based architectural coatings and interior paints for sag resistance and brushability.

  4. Thickener and film-former in oral liquid suspensions and fast-dissolving oral films.

  5. Viscosity builder in industrial cleaning formulations where low foaming and salt tolerance are critical.
