Cellulose ethers
Microcrystalline Cellulose Colloidal
Colloidal microcrystalline cellulose with unique multifunctional properties such as thixotropy, gelation, emulsification stability, thermal stability, water retention, and shape retention can widely use in food. The primary difference among the colloidal microcrystalline cellulose series is in viscosity, gelling and stable strength of the final product. This difference helps to select a more suitable model according to the characteristics of the designed food formulation.
Polyanionic Cellulose
Low-viscosity polycationic cellulose exhibits excellent fluid loss control properties, whilst high-viscosity polycationic cellulose may serve as a viscosifier in water-based drilling fluids and low-density brines.
Hypromellose Acetate Succinate
Hypromellose acetate succinate is our second enteric coating material and it was developed for aqueous coating.
Hypromellose Phthalate
HPMC-P is insoluble in water and acidic solutions, insoluble in hexane, but readily soluble in acetone/methanol, acetone/ethanol (95/5) or methanol/chloroform mixtures (1:1, w/w). It dissolves in buffers with a pH of 5.0–5.8 or above.
Microcrystalline Cellulose
Microcrystalline cellulose is a pharmaceutical excipient widely employed in drug formulations, primarily serving as a binder or diluent in oral tablets and capsules. Additionally, it possesses certain lubricating and disintegrating properties, thereby functioning as an adsorbent, suspending agent, diluent, disintegrant, and capsule diluent.
Methyl Cellulose
Food-grade methyl cellulose (MC) may be employed in diverse processed foods, offering multifaceted functionalities and advantages. It serves as a binder, emulsifier, stabiliser, suspending agent, protective colloid, thickener, and film-forming agent. Its ‘reversible thermogel’ property constitutes one of methyl cellulose's most significant characteristics for food processing applications.

Ethyl Cellulose
Ethyl cellulose is soluble in a variety of organic solvents. It is typically employed as a non-swelling, water-insoluble component within excipients or coatings to prevent interactions between these components or reactions with other materials. It also prevents discolouration of easily oxidised constituents such as ascorbic acid, facilitating the compression of granules into tablets or the preparation of other dosage forms.
High-Substitute Hydroxypropyl Cellulose
Hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) is a non-ionic, water-soluble cellulose ether possessing numerous properties. It dissolves in organic solvents, exhibits good thermoplasticity, and has low surface activity in solution. Like other water-soluble cellulose polymers, it acts as a thickener and stabiliser in aqueous solutions. HPC films demonstrate excellent flexibility, requiring no plasticiser addition in film coating applications.
