Description
METHOCEL™ Premium LV products offer formulators a micro-thin glossy coating that is printable, hypo-allergenic, non-tacky, and compatible with pigments and dyes.
With their extreme versatility, METHOCEL™ premium LV products can be used as granulation binders in aqueous, hydroalcoholic or non-aqueous solvent systems.
- Reduces the required compression force, an important factor in reducing wear and extending the life of tooling and compression equipment
- Readily produce foams which can be used to reduce overall moisture exposure and form more reproducible granules with less time and energy
