Overview
TEXTURECEL™ 1000 GA is a low molecular weight sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) polymer. It is a naturally derived cellulose ether presented in granular form that can be directly added at 1% in aqueous formulations to produce solutions with a viscosity of approximately 1,000 cPs. TEXTURECEL™ 1000 GA is used as a thixotropic rheology modifier in water-based coating, ink, and adhesive formulations. TEXTURECEL™ 1000 GA is particularly useful in paper coatings as both a thickener and film former. It produces clear, durable films that are highly resistant to oil and grease. In ceramic applications, TEXTURECEL™ 1000 GA is used as a temporary binder that improves green strength prior to being burnt out cleanly during sintering.

Primary Chemistry: Sodium carboxymethylcellulose
Features & Benefits
Anionic
Water soluble at any temperature
High surface tension, forms less foam
Excellent viscosifier
Facilitates reversible viscosity decrease upon heating
Stable in a wide pH range from 3.5 to 12
Compatible with nearly all other hydrocolloids
No odor and no taste
Forms films resistant to fats, oils, and organic solvents
Problems Solved
Damage done to paper and paper coatings caused by exposure to oily chemicals
Inadequate leveling and adhesion of coatings, inks, and adhesives due to a lack of shear-thinning rheology
Ceramic defects leading to the rejection of ceramic parts
Use of rheology modifiers and thickeners that are not based on renewable resources like cellulose
