What is Ethyl Cellulose?
Ethyl cellulose is an organic soluble cellulose ether made from natural cellulose through chemical reaction. It belongs to the non-ionic cellulose ether category. Ethylcellulose is white to slightly yellow powder or granules, odorless, tasteless and non-toxic. Ethyl cellulose powder could be widely used in printing inks, pharmaceutical, conductive paste, personal care, ceramic capacitor(MLCC),optical film, food grade, food contact packing,animal feed and many other applications.
What is EthylCellulose functions for food grade and food contact packaging grade?
- Food and Food contact packingETHOCEL Ethylcellulose Powder are odorless,tasteless, and film-forming and are therefore used in food applications such as flavor encapsulation, inks for marking fruits and vegetables, and as a component of paper and paperboard packaging in contact with aqueous and fatty foods.
What is EthylCellulose functions for animal feed grade?
- Animal Feed:ETHOCEL Ethylcellulose are organo-soluble film formers. These polymers can be used to control the release of nutrients in animal feed pellets or granules.
What other application Ethyl Cellulose Could be used for ?
- Paint, coating,printing inks
- Varnishes/Lacquers
- Pharmaceutical
- Food/Feed
- Personal care
- Electronics---MLCC(multi-layer ceramic capacitors)
- Food packing
- Ceramics
- Conductive pastes
- Hot melts extrusion
- Paper coating
- Optical film
- Agriculture
