Product Details

Basic information

Methyl Cellulose is a non-ionic water-soluble cellulose ether, appearing as odorless, tasteless white powder insoluble in organic solvents like ethanol. Its aqueous solution shows pseudoplasticity, gelating at high temperatures reversibly on cooling. Acid-alkali and salt resistant, it functions as a thickener, film-former and emulsifier.

Specification

Application

1: As a food additive, it is used in baking, sauces, beverages, etc., to improve texture, enhance water retention and emulsification stability.

2: Added to mortar and putty, it enhances water retention and bonding strength, prevents cracking, and improves construction smoothness and material strength.

3: Applied in toothpaste, shampoo and skin care products, it plays a thickening and emulsifying role, while forming a protective film to improve product skin feel and stability.

4: Used as a tablet binder, capsule excipient and sustained-release coating material, it controls drug release rate and improves formulation formability and stability.
