Overview
CELLOSIZE QP-100MH is a water soluble hydroxyethylcellulose 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 Hydroxyethylcellulose 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 Hydroxyethylcellulose 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 hydrocolloids like guar and xanthan gum. This allows for better consistency and performance from batch to batch.

FAQs
What is CELLOSIZE™ QP-100MH?
CELLOSIZE™ QP-100MH is a water-soluble hydroxyethylcellulose polymer known for its thickening properties in aqueous formulations. The polymer is surface treated to delay hydration, which allows for thorough dispersion, preventing clump formation and helping to create solutions more easily. With its high molecular weight, it achieves a viscosity range of 4,400–6,000 cPs at 1% concentration in water. It has a high tolerance for inorganic salts in solutions and may be used in solutions with a pH range of 3 to 10.
What are the applications of CELLOSIZE™ QP-100MH?
CELLOSIZE™ QP-100MH is perfect for latex systems, such as paints and adhesives. Its thixotropic nature facilitates easy application and spreading. In paint and adhesive formulations, it provides excellent workability and strong adhesion to vertical and overhead surfaces. Its tightly regulated specifications ensure consistent performance compared to other hydrocolloids such as guar and xanthan gum.
Why choose CELLOSIZE™ QP-100MH over other grades?
CELLOSIZE™ QP-100MH offers the highest level of viscosity within the CELLOSIZE™ portfolio. It is preferred for formulations requiring thicker, gel-like consistencies or in formulations that require the highest level of shear-thinning rheology effect.
