Overview
METHOCEL™ A15LV Premium is a water-soluble polymer derived from cellulose with a very low molecular weight. METHOCEL™ A15LV Premium is a very high purity, non-ionic cellulose ether. METHOCEL™ A15LV Premium is used as a rheology modifier and allows for precise control of rheology in low viscosity solutions. METHOCEL™ A15LV will yield a solution with a viscosity of 15 cp at 2% in water. It has excellent stability in extreme acidic and alkaline pH. It is pseudoplastic and enhances the lubricity and spreadability of solutions. METHOCEL™ A15LV is an excellent binder for isostatic pressing and provides excellent green strength for ceramics.
