Overview
METHOCEL™ E10M Premium is a medium molecular weight hydroxypropyl methylcellulose polymer with enhanced regulatory approvals. It has a moderate degree of hydroxypropyl substitution and can therefore be used as a thickener in both water based and alcohol based formulations. METHOCEL™ E10M Premium is often used in cleaners and sanitizers that require FDA approval. When added to water at a 2% addition rate, METHOCEL™ E10M Premium will yield a clear solution with a viscosity of ~10,000 cps. Solution of METHOCEL™ E10M have a smooth, soft consistency and will thin under stress. This makes them easy to dispense and spread but also still be able cling to vertical surfaces. In addition, solutions of METHOCEL™ E10M can be reversibly gelled at temperatures above 58°C. This is a useful for improving green strength of ceramic parts during processing to reduce the number of defects.
