Name: Ethyl Cellulose
CAS No: 9004-57-3
Characteristics
Ethyl Cellulose is a kind of white grains or powder,having no smell or tastes.Its 5% soliquoid shows neutral to litmus test paper.Its specific density 1.07-1.18,heat distortion point:135-155 degree centigrade,and fire point:330-360 degree centigrade.Ethyl Cellulose has good stability against light ,heat,oxygen and wetness,and is stable to chemicals.It is resistant to alkali,dilute acid and salting liquid,soluble in some organic solvents,such as alcohol,ether,ketone,ester,aromatic hydrocarbon and halohydrocarbon,etc ,and compatible with many celluloses,resin and nearly all plasticizers.Ethyl Cellulost has low combustibility,small hydroscopicity and good electric behavior.Its thin film and plastics have good mechanical strength and flexibility in a wide range of temperature.
