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. Culminal® methylhydroxypropylcellulose (MHPC) and methylhydroxyethylcellulose (MHEC) are used to control in-can consistency, flow and leveling, high shear viscosity, and storage stability of interior and exterior flat emulsion paints. R – delayed solubility 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. Can also be used to control in-can consistency, flow and leveling, high shear viscosity, and storage stability of interior and exterior flat emulsion paints. Possesses delayed solubility.
