METHOCEL™ cellulose ethers are water-soluble polymers derived from cellulose, the most abundant natural polymer. These versatile polymers play a critical role in many industrial applications. METHOCEL™ polymers are soluble in water and many organic solvents. They offer multi-functional properties and can be fine-tuned to create custom solutions.
Our METHOCEL™ polymers are also available in various particle morphologies, including powder, surface-treated powder and granular format, allowing maximum processing flexibility. This makes them suitable for a vast range of industrial applications. IFF’s Industrial Solutions has extensive experience in manufacturing METHOCEL™ polymers.
