Product Overview
METHOCEL™ A15LV Premium is a water-soluble polymer derived from cellulose with a very low viscosity. Methocel is a high purity, non-ionic cellulose ether. Besides thickening, binding, Methocel functions as a suspending aid, stabilizer, surfactants, lubricants, protective colloids, and emulsifiers. The use of Methocel contributes to economic advantages, due to the fact that various properties are simultaneously present.
