Physical and Chemical Properties | Ethyl ester of cellulose. White to light gray diffuse paste, thermoplastic. It is unstable to heat, discoloration at high temperature (240 ℃) and loses its original physical and chemical properties. Commodity grade products should have a specified viscosity. The relative density is 1.07~1.18, the refractive index is 1.47, and the softening point is 100~130 ℃, which can form a tough film and maintain flexibility at low temperature. Can be mixed with resin, wax, oil, etc. Stable to alkali and dilute acid. The softening point and hygroscopicity decreased with the increase of ethoxy content. The ethoxy content of standard commodities is 47% ~ 48%. Almost insoluble in water, glycerol and propylene glycol, but soluble in certain organic solvents to varying degrees (depending on the ethoxy content). Ethyl cellulose with ethoxy content less than 46% ~ 48% is easily soluble in a mixture of tetrahydrofuran, methyl acetate, chloroform and aromatic hydrocarbon-ethanol. Ethoxy content greater than 46% ~ 48% is easily soluble in ethanol, methanol, toluene, chloroform and ethyl acetate. The litmus test of 5% suspension was neutral. |

method of production | alkaline fibrils were prepared from refined pulp or Linter with sodium hydroxide. Alkaline cellulose is then reacted with ethyl chloride in an autoclave to replace all or a portion of the three hydroxyl groups in glucose with ethoxy groups. The reaction product was washed with hot water and dried to obtain ethyl cellulose. wood pulp or Kapok is prepared by alkali treatment and then ethylation of alkaline cellulose with ethyl chloride. Cellulose and ethanol are combined in the presence of a dehydrating agent. |
