Ethyl Cellulose CAS# 9004-57-3

Ethyl ester of cellulose. White to light gray liquid paste, thermoplastic. It is unpredictable to heat, modifications shade and also sheds its original physical as well as chemical residential or commercial properties at high temperature (240 ° C). Viscosity should be specified for commercial quality items. The relative thickness is 1.07-1.18, the refractive index is 1.47, as well as the softening factor is 100-130 ° C. It can develop difficult movies and also preserve flexibility at low temperatures. Can be blended with resins, waxes, oils, and so on. Stable to alkali as well as thin down acid.
