Ethyl Cellulose Industrial Application Guide
Ethyl Cellulose provides excellent functionality in many industrial applications. It offers an attractive range of physical properties and can be blended with other materials to achieve intermediate characteristics.
Ethyl Cellulose is widely used in a variety of paints, surface coatings such as metal, paper products, paints, rubber coating, hot melt coating and integrated circuit; for the ink, such as magnetic ink, gravure and flexographic printing inks; for cold material ; for the specialty plastics and special deposits, such as rocket propellant coated with; for insulation and cable coatings; for suspension polymerization of polymer dispersant; for carbide and ceramic adhesives; for the textile industry for printing paste and so on.
