Overview
METHOCEL™ A4M is a water-soluble methylcellulose polymer used as a thickener, rheology modifier, binder, and film former. Solutions containing METHOCEL™ A4M are thixotropic in nature and have excellent lubricity and spreadability as well as outstanding stability in extreme pH. METHOCEL™ A4M works well as a binder and processing aid for ceramic extrusion. It will reversibly gel at temperatures over 55°C and provide a dramatic increase in green strength for ceramics prior to firing.
