Product Overview
Methocel™ A4C Premium is a water-soluble, high purity, non-ionic cellulose ether. It has a low viscosity range of 320 to 480 cps. Methocel is used as thickener, binder and film former. Further it functions as a suspending aid, stabilizer, surfactants, lubricants, protective colloids, and emulsifiers. Methocel contributes to economic advantages due to the fact that properties are simultaneously present.
