Applications

METHOCEL™ E6 Premium LV is a premium quality and low viscosity thickener which can be utilized as a binder, rheology modifier, lubricant, film former, and water retention aid in a number of applications. It is most commonly used in coatings, inks, and ceramics. It can also be used in adhesives and electronics such as batteries and LCD displays.

  • Ceramics: METHOCEL™ E6 Premium LV is used in ceramics when binding and low viscocity are required. It also provides controlled thickening and rheology in ceramics extrusion and casting applications. The product's low impurity level makes it the best fit for speciality ceramics and electronic applications.

  • Coatings and Inks: METHOCEL™ E6 Premium LV is used as a thickener, protective colloid and pigment suspension aid in coatings and inks. It provides excellent film properties such as high tensile, strength, and elongation. It also improves workability and water retention for construction coatings.

METHOCEL™ Efficient and Versatile - the Twin faces of a Market Leader
METHOCEL™ cellulose ethers include methylcellulose (MC) or hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) polymers with solubilities ranging from water-soluble to organosoluble. METHOCEL ™ is an excellent rheology modifier, binder, film former, and water-retention agent. In addition, it has a few stand-out qualities. METHOCEL™ does not need hot water to dissolve; it is highly soluble in cold water. Therefore, energy can be conserved in dissolving the product. Another stand-out quality of METHOCEL™ is that once it is gelled by heat, it is able to revert back to liquid form when cooling. Many other thickeners do not have that flexibility.
