ETHOCEL™ ethyl cellulose Polymers are multi-functional, water-insoluble, organosoluble polymers used in many industrial and specialty applications where batch to batch consistency is required. The inherent properties of ethyl cellulose, such as organosolubility, thermoplasticity, rheology profile, film formation, binding power and thermal decomposition make this resin ideal for many different applications.
The Benefits of ETHOCEL™'s Unparalleled Quality
IFF's superior manufacturing process for ETHOCEL™ results in high purity resins with:
• Reproducible performance due to tighter viscosity specification
• Defect reduction thanks to lower insoluble fiber levels
• Predictable performance due to narrow and uniform ethoxyl functionality
• Superior solubility and solution stability in predominant vehicle solvents
• Clean burnout when used as a sacrificial binder
• Very low fiber, NaCl, and ash
• Low moisture and OCP
