Overview
METHOCEL™ E10M is a water-soluble HPMC polymer used as a thickener and stabilizer in various industrial formulations. This polymer has moderate hydroxypropyl substitution and high methoxy content, making it more compatible with solvent- and alcohol-based solutions than other METHOCEL™ cellulose ethers. It also has outstanding pH stability, making it an ideal thickener for cleaners and sanitizers. Solutions containing METHOCEL™ E10M are thixotropic and have a high level of lubricity, which makes them easy to dispense, spread, and extrude. In addition to rheology modification, METHOCEL™ E10M can form films with good resistance and flexibility. METHOCEL™ E10M will reversibly gel at temperatures over 64°C to provide solutions with a rapid boost in viscosity. This boost in viscosity provides added green strength to ceramics and adhesives.
