CELLOSIZE™ QP-100MH

CELLOSIZE QP-100MH is a water soluble  hydroxyethyl cellulose polymer. It is a very good thickener for water-based formulations and it's efficiency is unmatched by any other hydrocolloid. CELLOSIZE QP-100MH is surface treated to delay the rate of hydration when the polymer is added to water.  This allows for complete dispersion of the polymer and the development of a lump free solution.  The high molecular weight of CELLOSIZE™ QP-100MH lends to high solution viscosity.  A viscosity of 4400-6000 cps is achievable with just 1% in water.  This makes CELLOSIZE™ QP-100MH an ideal thickener for latex systems where the water soluble components must be kept to a minimum.  In addition, CELLOSIZE™ QP-100MH is highly thixotropic.  This allows for high viscosity formulations that are easy to be applied and spread.  Adhesives thickened with CELLOSIZE QP-100MH are easily workable but still have excellent cling to vertical and overhead surfaces.  The specifications of CELLOSIZE™ QP-100MH is are tightly controlled when compared to hydrocolloilds like guar and xantham gum.  This allows for better consistency and performance from batch to batch.
