Ethyl cellulose is a non-ionic cellulose derivative used extensively in pharmaceutical, food, cosmetic, and industrial applications. Thermo Fisher Scientific provides a high-purity ethyl cellulose with an ethoxyl content of 47.5–49.5% and a viscosity of 10 cps (5% in 80:20 toluene/ethanol at 25 °C). This grade is especially suitable as a film former, binder, thickener, and controlled-release agent in a wide variety of research and manufacturing workflows.
The 10 cps viscosity profile supports applications requiring thin films or low-viscosity suspensions, making this product ideal for use in coatings, inks, pharmaceuticals, and polymer-based systems.
Key Features
- Controlled viscosity (10 cps) ensures consistency in rheological applications
- Ethoxyl content 48% supports solubility in organic solvents
- Non-ionic and water-insoluble, yet soluble in many organic solvents
- Used in drug delivery, coating technologies, adhesives, and inks
- Supplied as a white to yellow powder or granules
- Provided in sealed glass bottles for maximum shelf stability
- Accompanied by SDS and batch-specific Certificate of Analysis
