Ethyl cellulose is widely used in coatings. It can also be used as the basic material of solid lubricants for stamping metal workpieces. In microcircuit printing, ethyl cellulose is used as a vehicle. In the radio industry, it is used as a high-level insulating material, and as a special film in a protective coating, such as a coating layer for rocket propellant. It can be used as hot-melt adhesives and coatings for cables, paper, textiles, etc., as well as insulation for extrusion lines and toughness enhancers for plastics. It can also be used for pigment grinding base materials, printing inks, molded plastic powders, explosive fuzes, and vitamin formulations. Used as a peelable protective layer to prevent corrosion and damage to metal parts before use, and as a peelable coating to protect fragile glassware. In adhesives, textiles and fibers, medicine and food, and other industries, there are still many uses. Industrial grade ethyl cellulose is used in coatings (gel-type coatings, hot melt coatings), inks (screen printing inks, gravure inks), adhesives, pigment pastes, etc. High-end products are used in medicine, cosmetics and food, such as packaging materials for pharmaceutical tablets, and binders for long-acting preparations.

The Packaging of Ethyl cellulose CAS NO. 9004-57-3 Ethyl cellulose
The usual one package of Ethyl cellulose is 25kg/drum. But we could also subpackage it according to our customers' requirements.Such as 1kg/bag, 5kg/bag, 10kg/bag,etc.Generally, the powder of Ethyl cellulose will be packed in sealed plastic bags, and then be locked into the carton barrels or sealed in woven bags or craft paper bags. But we could also pack it with aluminium foil bags to provide more protection to the goods as our customers' required.
