High viscosity grade methyl cellulose offering excellent water retention and thickening performance in aqueous systems.
Thermally reversible gelation behavior—forms clear, non-ionic gels upon heating and re-dissolves upon cooling.
Outstanding film-forming capability with good flexibility, clarity, and barrier properties.
Consistent batch-to-batch performance ensured by Ashland’s stringent GMP-compliant manufacturing controls.
Low ash content and high purity, meeting requirements for pharmaceutical and food-contact applications where applicable.
Pharmaceutical tablet coatings and controlled-release matrix formulations.
Water-based adhesives and construction mortars requiring extended open time and sag resistance.
Personal care gels and emulsion stabilizers in leave-on and rinse-off products.
Food-grade thickeners and texturizers in dairy alternatives and plant-based beverages.
Ceramic tile adhesive additives to enhance workability and bond strength under variable humidity conditions.
