Features Of Ashland Benecel A15C Methyl Cellulose

  1. Highly water-soluble methyl cellulose polymer with rapid hydration and low solution viscosity.

  2. Excellent thermal gelation profile—forms reversible gels upon heating, ideal for controlled rheology applications.

  3. Provides superior film-forming capability and surface protection in aqueous systems.

  4. Offers outstanding water retention in cementitious and gypsum-based building materials.

  5. Non-ionic, pH-stable, and compatible with a broad range of additives including surfactants, salts, and biocides.

Typical Applications Of Ashland Benecel A15C Methyl Cellulose

  1. Tile adhesives and thin-set mortars for enhanced workability and open time.

  2. Self-leveling underlayments requiring high flow and minimal sag.

  3. Exterior insulation finishing systems (EIFS) base and finish coats.

  4. Grouts and repair mortars where water retention and cohesion are critical.

  5. Pharmaceutical tablet binders and controlled-release matrix formers.
