| Aqualon™ ethylcellulose
Odor: odorless Use: Aqualon ethylcellulose (EC) is a cellulose ether distinguished by its versatility. As a unique product with wide-ranging solubility and flexibility at low temperatures, ethylcellulose is frequently used in electronics in addition to a variety of other applications. It provides high solution clarity, good thermal stability, even burnout and has very low decomposition temperatures.
Aqualon EC is a key binder for gravure printing inks as well as a thickening binder in flexographic and screen printing inks. In these applications, Aqualon EC polymers provide scuff resistance, adhesion, fast solvent release, film formation and outstanding rheology control. |

| METHOCEL™ Bind
Flavor: characteristic Why spend so much effort creating great products only to have them lose their shape and texture, when prepared at home? It creates waste, slows production and disappoints consumers. METHOCEL™ Bind ensures that ingredients are bound together so that foods retain their shape during processing and cooking and sauces keep their perfect texture. |

| METHOCEL™ Film
Flavor: characteristic The food ingredient METHOCEL™ Film comes to rescue when you need transparent, flexible food coatings or improve the coating properties of glazes, batters and marinades. |

| METHOCEL™ Foam
Flavor: characteristic Many of us enjoy the sinful thrill of tasty desserts – whether it’s whipped toppings or chocolate mousses. METHOCEL™ Foam is a food ingredient that helps these products maintain that long-lasting stable aeration and creaminess we all love. |
| Dow Chemical |
| METHOCEL™ Heatset
Flavor: characteristic When it comes to handling the Heatset, we are right at home in the kitchen. METHOCEL™ Heatset is our food ingredient solution to prevent boilout – a problem that occurs when the filling that was supposed to remain inside a pot pie, ravioli or egg roll finds its way out before we’ve gotten a chance to take our first bite. |

Formulations/Preparations: •to avoid brittleness, ethyl cellulose formulations usually include an antioxidant such as hydroquinone monobenzyl ether, 4-hexylpyrocatechol, or diphenylamine.
•grades: technical; nf; fcc
•commercial product has ethoxy content of 43-50%
•most frequently used in solvent mixtures containing 60 to 80 percent aromatic hydrocarbon and 20 to 40 percent alcohol; this percentage of alcohol results in minimum viscosity. ethyl cellulose resins
