CheSilo TM Hydroxy Propyl Methyl Cellulose or Methyl Cellulose
CheSilo Hydroxy Propyl Methyl Cellulose(abb.MPC) or Methyl Cellulose(MC) is a non-ionic, water soluble cellulose ether. It is widely used as as thickener, protective colloid, stabilizer, suspending aids and water-retainer in construction mortar, water-based paint, detergent.
CheSilo Hydroxy Propyl Methyl Cellulose(abb.MPC) or Methyl Cellulose(MC)has pure grade and modified grade with special properties.
