Overview
METHOCEL™ A15C allows for precise viscosity and rheology control of water-based formulations. It is also used as an extrusion aid and green strength additive in high performance ceramics. Solutions containing METHOCEL™ A15C are pseudoplastic in nature, have excellent lubricity and can be easily applied to surfaces or extruded. METHOCEL™ A15C will reversibly gel above 55°C making it an excellent binder for improving green strength in ceramics. In addition METHOCEL™ polymers have outstanding pH stability and can be used in acidic and alkaline cleaning solutions to produce a stable viscosity and improve shelf life.
