EAZEECEL™ methylcellulose derivatives are cellulose ethers that, when dissolved in water, offer a variety of functional properties. EAZEECEL™ products are powders, they are used as thickeners, protective colloids, stabilisers, suspending aids and water-retention agents in many industrial applications. 

 TYPES AND SPECIFICATIONS 

Chemically EAZEECEL™ products are ethers of cellulose and methylchloride, ethylene oxide or propylene oxide. These cellulose derivatives have been designated as follows: 

EAZEECEL™ CM       methyl cellulose 

EAZEECEL™ CMH     methylhydroxyethyl cellulose 

EAZEECEL™ CMP      methylhydroxypropyl cellulose 

These designations are followed by a viscosity number, as listed below. "R"-types have retarded solubility.

EAZEECEL™ is easily soluble in cold water. The product is not soluble in hot water. EAZEECEL EAZEECEL™ is a non-ionic cellulose ether and is compatible with many surfactants and polymers such as starch, guar and alginates. 

Solutions of EAZEECEL™ are pseudoplastic, some solutions show thixotropy. The solution viscosity is a function of the temperature, as the latter increases, viscosity decreases. When reaching the gel temperature gelling and flocculation of the polymer will occur. This process is reversible upon cooling. Viscosity is nearly independent of the pH over a wide range. 

EAZEECEL™ cellulose ethers have many functional properties, such as water retention, thickening and stabilizing action, binding ability, adhesion, protective colloid, suspension effect and emulsion stabilization and film formation. Typical applications are construction industry, coating industry, suspension polymerization, ceramic industry, tobacco industry, detergents and cleaners.
