At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD, we understand that the effectiveness of chemical additives hinges on selecting the right grade for the intended application. Ethyl Cellulose, a highly versatile cellulose ether, is no exception. With various grades available, each possessing distinct characteristics, it is crucial for industrial users to understand these differences to optimize their formulations. Our goal is to provide clear guidance on choosing the best ethyl cellulose grades for your specific needs.

Ethyl Cellulose is primarily characterized by its ethoxyl content and viscosity. The ethoxyl content, which refers to the percentage of ethyl groups attached to the cellulose backbone, influences its solubility and other properties. Viscosity, typically measured in mPa·s for a standard solution concentration (e.g., 5%), is a critical parameter for controlling rheology, film formation, and adhesive strength. Different applications will necessitate different viscosity ranges and ethoxyl levels.

For instance, lower viscosity grades of Ethyl Cellulose are often preferred in applications requiring fine control over flow and film formation, such as in certain printing inks or thin coatings. Conversely, higher viscosity grades might be employed as thickeners or binders where more substantial rheological modification or film integrity is required. The choice between these options is critical for achieving the desired outcome in uses of ethyl cellulose in packaging or other manufacturing processes.

We offer a comprehensive range of ETHOCEL™ grades, which are renowned for their high purity, consistency, and performance. These grades are typically defined by numerical designations that correspond to their viscosity. For example, grades with lower numbers generally indicate lower viscosity, making them suitable for applications where a thinner solution or film is desired. Conversely, higher numbers correspond to higher viscosities.

When selecting a grade, consider the solvent system being used, as Ethyl Cellulose exhibits different solubility and viscosity profiles in various organic solvents. Furthermore, factors like desired film flexibility, adhesion strength, and potential for use as a flame retardant will influence the choice. For applications like paper coatings or heat seal adhesives, specific grades are optimized to provide the necessary moisture resistance and bond strength, respectively. As a leading ethyl cellulose chemical supplier, NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD provides detailed technical data sheets for each grade.

Understanding the ethyl cellulose price per kg is also important for budgetary planning.
