Product Description

      Ethyl Cellulose (EC)

SidleyCel^®  Ethyl Cellulose (EC) is white or light gray powder or granule. It is odorless, tasteless, insoluble in water but easily soluble in various organic solvents.
SidleyCel® Ethyl Cellulose (EC) is mainly used as tablet binder to increase the hardness and reduce the fragility of tablets. As film-forming agent, it can improve the appearance of the tablet, isolate odor, keep away moisture and deterioration of drug, and prolong the shelf life. It also can be used as ink binder, helps to form a wear-resistant ink film. SidleyCel® EC has good compatibility with various solvents, pigments and other resins.

Applications

Pharmaceuticals
Ethyl Cellulose can be used as film former, binder, dispersing agent, stabilizer, water retention agent and controlled release agent in many kinds of medicine.

Coating
Ethyl Cellulose can make up some printing and coating, the coating films have good glossiness and excellent slickening capability and flexibility.

Plastic
Ethyl Cellulose can make up the plastic powder which is easy to take shape, improve cold-resistant property and so on.

In other industry
Ethyl Cellulose is used as temporary coating for fluorescent lamp tube, to raise the viscosity of phosphor and harden the glasses' surface. In addition, it is used in electricity conductive printing ink which is used in the basement flake in integrated circuit.


Dissolving

The usually used solvents of Ethyl Cellulose(DS:2.3-2.6) are aromatics and alcohols. The aromatics are benzene, tolue ne, ethylbenzene and xylene, suitable percent:60%-80%. The alcohols are me thanol and ethanol etc. suitable ercent: 20-40%.
Ethyl Cellulose is slowly added to the vessel with organic solvent while stirrung, until it is completely wet and dissolved.
