Product Overview

METHOCEL™ 228S is a surface-treated hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) thickener. It is a highly pure, non-ionic, water-soluble cellulose ether that has a viscosity of 5000 cP in water at 2% concentration. METHOCEL™ 228S has a surface treatment that prevents hydration. Due to this delayed hydration, METHOCEL™ 228 can be directly added into aqueous formulations and dissolved with mild agitation without forming lumps. METHOCEL™228S provides outstanding workability, crack resistance, and viscosity control when utilized in joint compounds and crack fillers. Additionally, METHOCEL™ 228S improves water retention, extending the formulation's open time.
