METHOCEL™ K100LV Premium is a HPMC thickener with low impurity levels. It yields a viscosity of approximately 100 cPs at low addition levels in water.
METHOCEL™ K100LV Premium provides solutions with low viscosity, which makes it perfect for creating cleaners and coatings with improved workability and ceramics with better green strength.
Cleaners: METHOCEL™ K100LV Premium increases viscosity and formulation stability in cleaners. It is highly stable in a wide variety of pH, making it ideal to improve surface contact and cling of cleaning formulations sprayed onto overhead or vertical surfaces. It has a slight degree of organosolubility, making it compatible with formulations containing organic solvent–water blends.
Ceramics: METHOCEL™ K100LV Premium imparts reversible thermal gelation in ceramic bodies, helping reduce defects in technical ceramics. It also improves binding and rheology control in ceramics made through extrusion and casting.
Paints and Coatings: METHOCEL™ K100LV Premium helps form films and improve adherence of paints and coatings to vertical and overhead surfaces. It also improves the stability of suspensions in these formulations.
Unlike other distributors, two thirds of our sales team has a science degree.
