Classification of cellulose ethers

There is no unified regulation on the classification method of cellulose ethers, which can be generally classified according to the type of substituents, etherification degree, solubility and relevant application properties.

Main commercial varieties of cellulose ether

Ds: degree of substitution MS: molar degree of substitution

 ionic type: carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and polyanionic cellulose (PAC), etc

 non ionic: methylcellulose (MC), < a href=“ http://www.cyhuagong.com/content/?230.html " target="_ Self "title =" hydroxyethyl cellulose "> ethyl cellulose (EC), hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC), < a href =" " http://www.cyhuagong.com/content/?375.html " target="_ Self "title =" hydroxypropyl methylcellulose "> hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), etc

After years of development, the market of cellulose ether in developed countries has been very mature, and the market in developing countries is still in the growth stage, so it will be the main driving force for the growth of global cellulose ether consumption in the future.
