1. Construction and building materials industry
In the construction and building materials industry, cellulose ether is widely used in dry-mixed mortar, tile adhesive, putty powder, coatings and gypsum products, etc. They are mainly used to improve the construction performance of materials, improve water retention, adhesion and anti-slip properties, thereby enhancing the durability and construction convenience of products.
Dry-mixed mortar: Increase the bonding strength and crack resistance of mortar.
Tile adhesive: Improve the operability and bonding strength of the adhesive.
Putty powder: Enhance the water retention and adhesion of putty powder to prevent cracking.
2. Pharmaceutical and food industry
In the pharmaceutical and food industry, cellulose ether is often used as a thickener, stabilizer, film former and filler.
Pharmaceutical: Used for coating, controlled release and sustained release of drug tablets, etc.
Food: As a thickener and emulsifier stabilizer, it is often used in ice cream, jelly, sauces and baked goods.
3. Daily chemical industry
In the daily chemical industry, cellulose ether is mainly used in the production of toothpaste, detergents and cosmetics.
Toothpaste: used as a thickener and stabilizer to give toothpaste a good texture and stability.
Detergent: Improve the thickening and stabilizing properties of detergents.
Cosmetics: used as an emulsifier stabilizer and thickener in products such as emulsions, creams and gels.
4. Oil extraction and drilling industry
In the oil extraction and drilling industry, cellulose ether is used as an additive for drilling fluid and completion fluid, mainly used to increase the viscosity and stability of drilling fluid and control filtration loss.
Drilling fluid: Improve rheological properties and carrying capacity, reduce filtrate loss, and prevent well wall collapse.
5. Papermaking industry
In the papermaking industry, cellulose ether is used as a sizing agent and reinforcing agent for paper to improve the strength and writing performance of paper.
Sizing agent: Enhance the water resistance and surface strength of paper.
Reinforcing agent: Improve the folding resistance and tear strength of paper.
6. Textile and printing and dyeing industry
In the textile and printing and dyeing industry, cellulose ethers are used as sizing agents and printing and dyeing pastes for textiles.
Sizing agent: improves the strength and abrasion resistance of yarn.
Printing and dyeing paste: improves printing and dyeing effects, color fastness and pattern clarity.
7. Pesticide and fertilizer industry
In the pesticide and fertilizer industry, cellulose ethers are used as suspending agents and thickeners to help pesticides and fertilizers disperse evenly and release slowly.
Pesticides: as suspending agents, enhance the uniform dispersion and stability of pesticides.
Fertilizers: used as thickeners to improve the use effect and durability of fertilizers.
8. Other applications
In addition to the above-mentioned major industries, cellulose ethers are also widely used in electronic materials, coatings, adhesives, ceramics, rubber and plastics. Its versatility makes it an indispensable raw material for various industries.
Cellulose ethers are widely used in many industries due to their excellent physical and chemical properties, such as high viscosity, good water retention, stability and non-toxicity, significantly improving the performance and use effect of products.
