Culminal MC 3000 P Methylcellulose 9004-67-5 Hercules-Aqualon Rheology Modifier/ Thickener >> Cellulosic, non associative >> Methyl cellulose (MC) Inks Coatings >> Waterborne Printing Inks & Varnishes Soluble in cold water Insoluble in hot water CULMINAL products are water-soluble, nonionic cellulose ethers that are used in many industrial applications as water retention aids, thickening agents, protective colloids, suspending agents, binders and stabilizers. Water retention in water-based paints and varnishes. Controls rheology and consistency of waterbased paints, and stabilizes pigments and fillers. binding and viscosity control agent in enamels thickener of printing inks in textile coatings Although CULMINAL products are organic compounds, they exhibit excellent temperature stability. CULMINAL products are compatible with many materials including surfactants and polymers such as CMC, starch, guar and alginates. Water-soluble, nonionic cellulose ether. Used to give water retention in water-based paints and varnishes, to control rheology and consistency of waterbased paints, to stabilize pigments and fillers, as a binding and viscosity control agent in enamels, as a thickener of printing inks, and in textile coatings. Can be used as a protective colloids, suspending agent and binder and stabilizer. Offers very good temperature stability and compatibility with many materials including surfactants and polymers such as CMC, starch, guar and alginates.
