TEXTURECEL™ 40000 GA is granular, high molecular weight sodium carboxymethyl cellulose. It is used as a gelling agent in leak-resistant packs and a thickener for adhesives and coatings.
TEXTURECEL™ 40000 GA is a high molecular weight sodium carboxymethyl cellulose polymer. It is a naturally derived cellulose ether that can be added directly to water at 2% to produce a gel with 40,000 cPs viscosity. The gel formed by TEXTURECEL™ 40000 GA are well suited for use in leak-resistant gel pack applications. TEXTURECEL™ 40000 GA is also used to thicken water-based adhesives and coatings. It provides improved emulsion stability, increased cling to vertical surfaces, and thixotropic rheology that allows better workability and leveling. Additionally, TEXTURECEL™ 40000 GA is a binder in ceramic manufacturing. It increases the green strength of ceramic parts and provides lubrication for extrusion. This reduces defects and lessens wear and tear on equipment.

Primary Chemistry: Sodium carboxymethylcellulose
Defects of ceramics and adhesives caused by poor cohesion and green strength Inadequate leveling and adhesion of coatings, inks, and adhesives due to a lack of shear-thinning rheology Low viscosity of gel pack fluids thickened with superabsorbent polymers Use of rheology modifiers and thickeners that are not based on renewable resources like cellulose
