Product Information

Ethyl cellulose is a versatile, non-ionic cellulose ether that exhibits excellent film-forming properties and is widely utilized in various industries. With a viscosity range of 18-22 cP when dissolved in a 5% solution of toluene/ethanol (80:20), it serves as an effective thickening agent, binder, and coating material. Its unique ability to form clear, flexible films makes it particularly valuable in the production of coatings, adhesives, and inks. Ethyl cellulose is also employed in the pharmaceutical industry as a controlled-release agent, enhancing the bioavailability of active ingredients in drug formulations.

In addition to its applications in coatings and pharmaceuticals, ethyl cellulose is recognized for its use in food packaging, where it acts as a barrier to moisture and oxygen, thereby extending shelf life. Its compatibility with a wide range of solvents and resins allows for easy incorporation into various formulations, making it a preferred choice for researchers and industry professionals seeking reliable performance in their applications. Ethyl cellulose stands out for its stability and non-toxicity, ensuring safety in both industrial and consumer products.
