Product Presentation 2 I 2:10 – 2:30 pm CET I Date: March 26, I Venue: Hall 3, Stand 3-742

Topic - METHOCEL™: Upgrade your coatings formulation toolbox with a versatile bio-based polymer

METHOCEL™ is a premier cellulose-based polymer, acting as a binder and thickener for water-borne coatings. The length of the cellulose backbone, type and level of substitution, are characteristics we can control to fine-tune functionality of your application and process requirements. In this presentation, we will focus on application examples for coatings, paints, and adhesives. We will also show how to prepare aqueous METHOCEL™ solutions using different methods and include an overview of our product’s features regarding viscometry and rheology.
