pH drift can ruin your product during storage if it causes failure of the viscosity control agent. Methocel® (Dow methylcellulose) is being used as a viscosity control in systems with a pH as low as 2 and as high as 12 with complete success. As a result of Methocel's stability, many latex and resin emulsion paints, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics now reach consumers without danger of damaging breakdown during periods of storage.

Methocel is also used as a suspending agent, binder and film former. This versatility may aid in simplifying your process or product for improved economy. Methocel is offered in a broad range of viscosities from 10 cps to 7,000 cps, and aqueous solutions of this remarkably stable gum are odorless, colorless and inert. For a free sample of Methocel or assistance on your specific problem, write to THE DOW CHEMICAL COMPANY, Midland, Michigan, Dept. M E 827A-1.
