Cellulose Ethers

Product Introduction 

Cellulose Ethers are produced through chemical modification of cellulose with different additives. Cellulose ether is non-ionic water-soluble polymer derived from the most abundant nature polymer cellulose. In construction, cellulose ether acts as thickeners, binders, film formers and water-retention agents,suspension aids, surfactants, lubricants, protective colloids and emulsifiers. In addition, aqueous solutions of certain cellulose ether thermally gel, a unique property that plays a key role in a variety of applications. 

Advantages

This valuable combination property of Cellulose Ethers is not found in any other water-soluble polymer. The fact that so many useful properties are simultaneously present and often act in combination can be a significant economic advantage. In many applications, many ingredients would be required to do the same job performed by a single cellulose ether product. In addition, cellulose ether is highly efficient, often yielding optimal performance at a lower concentration than other water-soluble polymers.
