Features & Benefits
- Labeling Claims
- Features
- Non ionic and water soluble polymer with various viscosity.
- Applicable as film strips and dispersant of liquid formulation.
- SM-4 is recommendable for pellet coating as it is less sticky. The thermal gelling helps to prevent agglomerations during the coating process even at the higher spray speed.
