Common questions about cellulose products and their applications Part I: Basic problems of cellulos ether 1. Mechanism of thickening and swelling The mechanism of thickening and swelling of hydroxyethyl cellulose 250HHR PC has two main points: − The hydroxyl group of hydroxyethyl cellulose forms a hydrogen bond network structure with water molecules − entanglement between […]
what is Hypromellose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC)?
What is it: HPMC is a chemically modified cellulose polymer that is off-white in color and considered safe for human consumption. It is most commonly used as an alternative to gelatin and gluten in vegan-friendly products. Common uses: Alternative to Gelatin: It serves as an alternative to gelatin because of its vegetarian source and its physical […]
Basic concepts of cellulose ether–MHEC and MHPC
Basic concepts of cellulose ether–MHEC and MHPC As the main raw material, natural fiber can be divided into cotton fiber, cedar fiber, beech fiber and etc. Their degree of polymerization will affect the final viscosity of their products. At present, the main cellulose manufacturers all use cotton fiber(the by-product of nitrocellulose) as the main raw […]
