Product Information

Ethyl cellulose is a versatile and widely used cellulose ether known for its excellent film-forming properties and solubility in organic solvents. With a viscosity range of 45-55 cP when dissolved in a toluene/ethanol mixture, this compound is particularly valuable in the formulation of coatings, adhesives, and inks. Its unique ability to create flexible, durable films makes it an ideal choice for applications in the pharmaceutical and food industries, where it serves as a coating agent for tablets and a thickening agent in various formulations. Additionally, ethyl cellulose is recognized for its low toxicity and compatibility with a wide range of substances, enhancing its appeal for use in consumer products.

Researchers and industry professionals benefit from ethyl cellulose's stability and performance in diverse environments. Its extent of labeling at 48% ethoxylation allows for tailored applications, making it suitable for specialized formulations. Whether used in controlled-release drug delivery systems or as a binder in ceramic and polymer composites, ethyl cellulose stands out for its adaptability and effectiveness, providing significant advantages over similar compounds in terms of performance and safety.
