My Experiments 
VWR Methyl Cellulose (Methocel® A4C) is a high-purity cellulose ether with a viscosity range of 300–560 mPa·s, designed for use in analytical, pharmaceutical, and industrial applications requiring a consistent thickening, gelling, or film-forming agent. As a non-ionic, water-soluble polymer, it is ideal for formulations where clarity, stability, and reproducibility are essential.
Product Attributes
- Viscosity range: 300–560 mPa·s (1% solution at 20 °C)
- Consistent rheological performance for gelling, binding, or film-forming applications
- Supplied under the Methocel® A4C grade for high reproducibility
- Low heavy metal content (≤0.001% Pb)
- Stable under ambient storage conditions
