Celopro® MT is a brand new product that are especially designed of methylcellulose derivatives, including hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and methyhydroxy ethylcellulose, straight or modified with organic and inorganic additives. These series have been developed to improve the application and strength properties of gypsum based plasters, fillers, adhesives and spackling compounds, cement and lime based plasters, tile cements and similar products.
Uses: Methylcellulose is a gum composed of cellulose in which the meth- oxyl groups replace the hydroxyl groups. it is soluble in cold water but insoluble in hot water. solutions increase in viscosity upon heating, gel at 50–55°c, and liquefy upon cooling. it is used in baked goods for moisture retention, and in fruit pie fillings for the reduction of water absorption into the pie crust during baking. it is also used in breaded shrimp where it functions to form an oil barrier film.
