WIDE CHOICE OF VISCOSITIES MAKES METHOCEL YOUR MOST VERSATILE THICKENER Widest viscosity range of a n y g u m offered—/if/te different viscosity types— m a k e s thickening with D o w meihiylcellulose more efficient a n d e c o n o m i c a l T h e thickening action of Methocel® (Dow methylcellulose) h a s led to definite product improvement for some, low-cost viscosity control for others . . . what's your problem? T o assure the most effective viscosity for y o u r particular application, Methocel is offered i n a selection ranging from t h e lowest, 10 centipoise, through seven intermediate types, t o the highest at 7000 centipoise. Colorless, tasteless, odorless a n d neutral in its a q u e o u s solutions, Methocel is available t o y o u a s a fine white powder.
Illustrating the wide variety of viscosity types available in Methocel—(left) a barely viscous 2%> aqueous solution of 15 cps. going through ordinary mesh screening; and (right) a 2% aqueous solution of 4000 cps., so thick it will hardly pour.
You can depend on the ready availability a n d uniform high quality of Methocel since it is a synthetic gum, subject to rigid production control. Send t h e c o u p o n for a free sample of this superior gum—we'll also include complete information o n properties a n d present uses to aid evaluation in your own laboratory, THE DOW CHEMICAL COMPANY, Midland, Michigan.
