Features Of Ashland CMC BVH9 Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose

  1. High viscosity performance in low-shear aqueous systems, enabling excellent suspension and thickening efficiency.

  2. Consistent batch-to-batch rheological behavior due to stringent Ashland manufacturing controls and purified cellulose feedstock.

  3. Excellent salt tolerance, maintaining viscosity stability in formulations containing electrolytes up to 2% NaCl (w/w).

  4. pH-stable across broad range (pH 5–10), supporting compatibility with common acids, bases, and buffering systems.

  5. Non-ionic associative character minimizes interference with cationic surfactants and polymers in complex formulations.

Typical Applications Of Ashland CMC BVH9 Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose

  1. Water-based architectural coatings — providing sag resistance and roller spatter control.

  2. Tile adhesive mortars — enhancing open time, workability, and vertical slip resistance.

  3. Oilfield cementing slurries — acting as a fluid loss additive and rheology modifier under high-temperature conditions.

  4. Pharmaceutical oral suspensions — serving as a suspending and stabilizing agent compliant with USP/NF monograph requirements.

  5. Textile printing pastes — delivering sharp pattern definition and pigment retention on fabric substrates.
