Uses & manufacturing

Use ClassificationCosmetics -> Binding; Viscosity controlling; Film forming
Applications · 4 items

UsesIn the manufacture of plastics and lacquers. Pharmaceutic aid (tablet binder).

UsesUsed as a binder and filler in dry vitamin preparations, as a component of protective coatings for vitamin and mineral tablets, and as a fixative in flavoring compounds. It is a cellulose ether containing ethyoxy groups attached by an ether linkage and containing an anhydrous basis of not more than 2.6 ethoxy groups per anhydroglucose unit.

UsesFilm-former in coatings, hot-melt adhesives and transfer inks and as a plastic coating for a variety of substrates.

Usesethyl cellulose is a binder, film former, and thickener. It is used in suntan gels, creams, and lotions. This is the ethyl ether of cellulose.

Preparation methods · 1 item

PreparationEthyl cellulose is prepared by reacting cellulose with caustic to form caustic cellulose, which is then reacted with chloroethane to form ethyl cellulose. Plasticgrade material contains 44-48% ethoxyl. Although not as resistant as cellulose esters to acids, it is much more resistant to bases. An outstanding feature is its toughness at low temperatures.
