Description

Methyl cellulose, also known as cellulose methyl ether, referred to as MC (abbreviation for Methyl Cellulose), is a long-chain substituted cellulose. The average molecular weight of methyl cellulose is 10,000 to 220,000. It is white powder or fibrous at room temperature. It is non-toxic, non-irritating, and non-allergenic, and its apparent relative density is 0.35-0.55 (true relative density is 1.26-1.30) .
It swells into a translucent viscous colloidal solution in water, which is neutral to litmus, insoluble in ethanol, ether and chloroform, but soluble in glacial acetic acid. It is resistant to acid, alkali, microorganisms, heat, light, etc., and is not affected by oil and grease, but it will burn when it reaches the ignition point.

Application

Methyl cellulose is widely used in the construction industry, such as as a binder for cement, mortar, and seam desliming. Used as a film-forming agent and adhesive in cosmetics, medicine, and food industries. It is also used as sizing agent for textile printing and dyeing, synthetic resin dispersant, coating film former and thickener. Alkali cellulose is prepared from pulp, which is then reacted with methyl chloride or dimethyl sulfate in an autoclave, and then refined with warm water.
