2023-06-13
The physical and chemical properties of ethyl cellulose:
Ethyl cellulose (EC) is an organic soluble cellulose ether made of natural cellulose as the main raw material through chemical reaction processing, which belongs to non-ionic cellulose ethers. Appearance is white to light yellow powder or granules, odorless, tasteless and non-toxic.
1. Insoluble in water, low hygroscopicity, low residue, good electrical performance
2. Good stability to light, heat, oxygen and humidity, not easy to burn
3. Stable to chemicals, resistant to strong alkali, dilute acid and salt solution
4. Soluble in organic solvents such as alcohols, ethers, ketones, esters, aromatic hydrocarbons, halogenated hydrocarbons, etc., with good thickening and film-forming properties
5. Good compatibility and compatibility with resins and plasticizers
