AnxinCel® Cellulose Ether is a high-performance chemical raw material, widely used in many industries such as construction, pharmaceuticals, food, and personal care products. Cellulose ether is a water-soluble or partially soluble polymer compound formed by chemical modification of natural cellulose. It has multiple functions such as thickening, stabilization, bonding, film formation, water retention, and lubrication. Due to its unique properties, it is widely used in various industrial and commercial fields.
1. Classification of AnxinCel® Cellulose Ether
Cellulose ethers are mainly divided into the following categories according to the different types of substituents after chemical modification:
Methylcellulose (MC): Its main feature is that it has good water solubility, forms a viscous solution in cold water, and has good water retention and film-forming properties.
Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC): This cellulose ether has a high degree of modification and is often used in the fields of construction and medicine. It has excellent thickening effect and bonding properties, and has good tolerance to temperature and salt solutions.
Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC): This cellulose ether has high viscosity and good emulsification properties. It is widely used in food, cosmetics and other fields. It has thickening, suspension and stabilization effects.
Ethyl cellulose (EC): It is mainly used in coatings and drug controlled release systems. It is insoluble in water, but has good solubility in organic solvents.
2. Performance of AnxinCel® Cellulose Ether
The excellent performance of AnxinCel® Cellulose Ether is the basis for its wide application in different fields. The following are its main performance characteristics:
Excellent thickening effect: In aqueous solution, AnxinCel® Cellulose Ether can effectively increase the viscosity of the liquid, so that the solution has good suspension and film-forming properties, which is suitable for architectural coatings and pharmaceutical formulations.
Good water retention performance: Cellulose ether has a strong water retention capacity. When used in mortar and building glue, it can prevent water from evaporating too quickly, thereby extending the operation time and improving the durability of the product.
Film-forming property: Cellulose ether can form a uniform film on the surface of the coating, especially in the field of coatings and medicine. This feature helps to enhance the protective performance and ductility of the product.
Stability and compatibility: Cellulose ethers can maintain chemical stability under different pH conditions and have good compatibility with other chemicals. They are widely used in the cosmetics and food industries.
3. Application fields of AnxinCel® cellulose ethers
Construction industry: In the construction industry, AnxinCel® cellulose ethers are often used in products such as mortar, coatings and putty powder. Its thickening, water retention and bonding properties can improve the construction performance and the quality of the final product.
Dry mortar: Cellulose ethers can improve the water retention and construction performance of mortar, making the mortar smoother and easier to use, and can improve the strength and durability of the mortar.
Wall coatings: In coatings, cellulose ethers, as thickeners and stabilizers, can improve the fluidity and surface smoothness of coatings, and enhance the appearance and durability of coatings.
Pharmaceutical industry: In the pharmaceutical industry, AnxinCel® cellulose ethers are used in tablet coatings and sustained-release agents. Its film-forming properties and controlled release functions play a vital role in the stability and effectiveness of drugs.
Tablet preparation: As an excipient, cellulose ether can increase the strength of tablets, improve the tablet’s formability, and ensure the stable release of drugs.
Capsules and films: Cellulose ethers can be used to make soluble films as a protective layer for drugs, delayed release or targeted release in the digestive system.
Food and beverage industry: In food processing, AnxinCel® cellulose ethers are used as thickeners, stabilizers and emulsifiers to improve the texture and preservation of food.
Dairy products and condiments: Cellulose ethers can help improve the texture of food, making the product more attractive and operable.
Beverages and desserts: In beverages and desserts, cellulose ethers can play a role in suspension and emulsification to prevent ingredient separation.
Personal care products: In personal care products, AnxinCel® cellulose ethers are often used in products such as skin care products and shampoos as thickeners and moisturizers. Its water retention and film-forming properties can improve the texture and user experience of the product.
Skin care products: Cellulose ethers can form a protective film on the skin surface, lock in moisture, and improve the skin’s moisturizing effect.
Shampoo: In shampoo, cellulose ether can help improve the stability of foam and give the product better fluidity and thickness.
