Abstract

The invention concerns an aqueous suspension of a non-ionic, water-soluble cellulose ether cross-linked with glyoxal, in the presence of an electrolytic salt which gives a pH value below 8.0 in water and at the concentration involved. Conveniently, the suspension is produced by mixing the water included with a dry blend containing the cellulose ether and the electrolytic salt, and preferably the other components of the suspension as well.
