Neocel® Microcrystalline Colloidal Grade is a co-mixed blend of micro-crystalline cellulose (Comprecel®) and sodium carboxymethylcellulose (NaCMC) medium viscosity grade. Neocel® combines a water-insoluble cellulose with a water dispersible organic hydrocolloid. It is prepared by chemical depolymerization of highly-purified alpha cellulose. The crystalline portions of the fiber, after being subjected to wet mechanical attrition, are co-processed with NaCMC to form the colloidal microcrystalline cellulose. NaCMC serves as a protective colloid and aids in the dispersion of the product.

Characteristics

Thixotropy achievable at levels as low as 1% Heat stable viscosity Stable viscosity over pH 3.5-11.0 Compatible with most water-soluble polymers and alcohols Whitish, opaque dispersion Odorless and tasteless; imparts smooth, creamy texture

Dispersion Methods

Suggested equipment for dispersion: NEO-C11 and NEO-C91F require a planetary mixer or a high speed mixer.
