Features Of Dow CMC CAT 20000PA Cellulose Thickener

  1. High-performance, low-viscosity carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) derivative optimized for efficient rheology control in aqueous systems.

  2. Excellent salt tolerance and stability across a broad pH range (pH 4–11), ensuring consistent thickening performance in challenging formulations.

  3. Rapid hydration with minimal lumping, enabling easy dispersion and reduced mixing energy requirements during manufacturing.

  4. Non-ionic character provides compatibility with anionic, cationic, and non-ionic surfactants and polymers commonly used in industrial formulations.

  5. REACH-compliant and suitable for applications requiring regulatory acceptance in coatings, construction, and cleaning products.

Typical Applications Of Dow CMC CAT 20000PA Cellulose Thickener

  1. Architectural waterborne paints and interior/exterior latex coatings.

  2. Cement-based tile adhesives, self-leveling underlayments, and grouts.

  3. Heavy-duty liquid detergents and industrial cleaning concentrates.

  4. Water-based inks and pigment dispersions for packaging and graphic arts.

  5. Agrochemical suspensions and sprayable crop protection formulations.
