Product Description:
Ethyl cellulose is widely used as a coating material in the pharmaceutical industry to create controlled-release formulations. It forms a protective barrier around tablets or pellets, allowing for the gradual release of active ingredients over time. In the food industry, it serves as a stabilizer and thickener in various products, enhancing texture and shelf life. Additionally, it is employed in the production of inks, adhesives, and coatings due to its film-forming properties and resistance to moisture. In cosmetics, ethyl cellulose is used to improve the consistency and stability of creams and lotions. Its versatility also extends to the manufacturing of specialty paints and varnishes, where it acts as a binder and provides durability.
