EC N-grade
CAS: 9004-57-3
Ethylcellulose polymers for industrial applications (low substitution grade)
Description
Ethylcellulose (EC) polymers are cellulose ethers that are derived from natural wood or other cellulosic materials, with a narrow specification and uniform ethoxyl functionality. Ethylcellulose polymers are water-insoluble thermoplastic polymers; they can therefore be employed for a wide variety of functions. They are used for rheology modification, film formation, binding, water barriers, and as time-release agents.
