METHOCEL™ K15M is a water-soluble cellulose ether polymer. It is a low substitution hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC). The product provides a soft gel texture with a viscosity of 15,000 cP. METHOCEL™ K15M has the highest gelation temperature of 70°C – 90°C (158°F – 194°F).
METHOCEL™ K15M, featured with low substitution level, offers controlled thickening and soft gelling for higher temperature range applications. The product is widely used in ceramics, coatings, adhesives, and any other application when high gelation temperature is required.
Methoxyl: 19.0 – 24.0%
Hydroxypropoxyl: 7.0 – 12.0%
Viscosity, 2% in water @20°C: 10,000 – 18,000 cP
Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) thickener with low substitution. Yields viscosity of 15,000 cP at low addition levels.

Recommended use Thickening agent:
METHOCEL™ cellulose ethers include methylcellulose (MC) or hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) polymers with solubilities ranging from water-soluble to organosoluble. METHOCEL ™ is an excellent rheology modifier, binder, film former, and water-retention agent. In addition, it has a few stand-out qualities. METHOCEL™ does not need hot water to dissolve; it is highly soluble in cold water. Therefore, energy can be conserved in dissolving the product. Another stand-out quality of METHOCEL™ is that once it is gelled by heat, it is able to revert back to liquid form when cooling. Many other thickeners do not have that flexibility.
