Wholesale Methyl Cellulose Powder

Methyl cellulose is a non-ionic cellulose ether that is odorless, tasteless, non-toxic, and typically appears as a white, light yellow, or light gray powder. Methyl cellulose has good water solubility and can quickly disperse and swell in hot water at 80-90 ℃. After cooling, it can quickly dissolve and form a transparent colloidal solution. Meanwhile, methyl cellulose has good wetting, dispersibility, adhesion, thickening, emulsifying, water retention, film-forming properties, as well as impermeability to oils and fats. It is widely used in industries such as construction, building materials, dispersed coatings, wallpaper pastes, polymerization aids, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, paint removers, food, leather, ink, papermaking, etc. It is mainly used as a thickener, binder, water retaining agent, film-forming agent, excipient, emulsifier, etc., to improve product performance and quality.

Methyl cellulose is widely used in various fields such as building materials, coatings, pharmaceuticals, and food. With the continuous development of these industries, market demand will continue to grow. Through continuous technological innovation, the performance of methyl cellulose products will continue to improve, meeting more high-end application needs and expanding market space. As an environmentally friendly material, methyl cellulose meets global environmental regulations and will usher in more application opportunities in fields such as green buildings and eco-friendly packaging.

As a professional cellulose factory,we select high-quality wood cellulose, such as cotton short fibers or wood pulp, is crushed and screened to ensure uniform particle size of the raw materials. Soak cellulose in a strong alkaline solution to ionize the hydroxyl groups in cellulose molecules, preparing for subsequent methylation reactions. Add a methylating agent, such as chloromethane, to the alkalized cellulose solution. By controlling the reaction conditions, the hydroxyl groups in the cellulose molecules can undergo a substitution reaction with the methyl groups, resulting in the formation of methyl cellulose. Wash the reaction product to remove residual alkali and methylating agent, then dry it to ensure that the product meets the water content standard. Crush and sieve the dried methyl cellulose to obtain the final product that meets the particle size requirements. Strictly inspect the quality of finished products, including viscosity, purity, moisture content, and other indicators, to ensure that the products meet the standards before packaging and preparing for shipment.

During the dissolution and mixing process, pay attention to controlling the temperature to avoid excessively high or low temperatures affecting the solubility and properties of methyl cellulose. Methyl cellulose needs to be slowly and evenly stirred when adding solvents to avoid clumping or agglomeration and ensure the uniformity of the solution. During the operation, it is recommended to wear protective goggles and gloves to avoid direct contact with the skin and eyes. If accidentally touched, please rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical attention. Methyl cellulose should be stored in a dry, ventilated, and dark environment to prevent moisture and high temperatures, and to maintain packaging sealing.
