:Ethylcellulose
Description:
Ethylcellulose is a non-ionic, water-insoluble polymer derived from cellulose, characterized by the substitution of ethyl groups for hydroxyl groups on the cellulose backbone. It is commonly used as a thickening agent, film-forming agent, and binder in various applications, including pharmaceuticals, food products, and coatings. Ethylcellulose exhibits excellent thermal stability and is resistant to acids and bases, making it suitable for a wide range of pH environments. Its solubility is influenced by the degree of substitution and molecular weight, with lower molecular weight variants being more soluble in organic solvents. Ethylcellulose is often utilized in controlled-release formulations due to its ability to form films that regulate the release of active ingredients. Additionally, it is recognized for its compatibility with other excipients, enhancing the overall performance of formulations. Safety assessments indicate that ethylcellulose is generally regarded as safe for use in food and pharmaceutical applications, although specific regulatory guidelines should be followed.

CAS:<p>Ethyl cellulose is an organic compound that is soluble in alcohols, acetone and ethers. It is a viscous liquid that can be dissolved in water to form a gel. Ethyl cellulose can be modified with oligosaccharides, carbohydrates, complex carbohydrates, and other substances. Ethyl cellulose has been used for the production of edible films, as well as capsules and tablets. The viscosity of ethyl cellulose can be changed by adding different substances to it. This modification allows ethyl cellulose to be customized for various purposes such as creating high purity products or glycosylation.</p>Purity:Min. 95%Color and Shape:PowderEthyl cellulose
CAS:<p>Ethyl cellulose is similar in structure to methyl cellulose with ethyl replacing the methyl groups. It is approved for use in regulated markets such as food and pharmaceuticals. In pharmaceuticals it can mask the taste of bitter actives, enhance the strength and appearance of tablets and capsules, and enable controlled release formulations. In food products it functions as a binder, film former and flavour fixative.</p>Purity:Min. 95%Color and Shape:White Yellow PowderRef: IN-DA00IFZB
