ChemImpex Methyl cellulose (3,500-5,600mPa·s, 2% in Water at 20°C); Methoxy basis : 27.5 - 31.5%; 9004-67-5; MFCD00081763, 100G

Methyl cellulose is a versatile, non-ionic cellulose ether widely utilized in various industries due to its unique properties. With a viscosity range of 3,500-5,600 mPa·s when dissolved at 2% in water at 20°C, it serves as an effective thickening agent, emulsifier, and stabilizer. This compound is particularly valued in the food industry for its ability to enhance texture and moisture retention in products such as sauces, dressings, and baked goods. Additionally, it is commonly used in pharmaceuticals as a binder and film-forming agent in tablet formulations, ensuring consistent dosage and improved stability.

In the construction sector, methyl cellulose is employed as a water-retaining agent in cement and plaster formulations, promoting better adhesion and workability. Its biodegradable nature and non-toxic profile make it an attractive choice for environmentally conscious applications. Researchers also leverage its properties in various experimental setups, including drug delivery systems and tissue engineering. Methyl cellulose stands out for its multifunctionality and adaptability, making it an essential ingredient across diverse fields.
