Overview
TEXTURECEL™ 100 GA is a low molecular weight sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC). This granular grade can be added directly to water under moderate agitation to produce solutions with a viscosity of 100 cP at a 2% addition rate. TEXTURECEL™ 100 GA is can be used to thicken water-based coating, ink, and adhesive formulations and will provide a moderate thixotropic rheology. TEXTURECEL™ 100 GA is used as a temporary binder in ceramics to boost green strength prior to firing. TEXTURECEL™ CRT 100 GA is well suited for use in textile warp sizing. It binds well to yarn and forms a smooth, durable film that allows yarn to reduce friction during weaving and speeds up production. TEXTURECEL™ 100 GA has also been used in paper coatings where it produces films that are highly resistant to oils and grease.
