Cellulose ethers are a group of water-soluble polymers derived from cellulose, the main structural component of plants. They are widely used in a variety of industries, including construction, pharmaceuticals, personal care, food, and textiles. Cellulose ethers are valued for their unique properties, including high viscosity, water retention, thickening, and binding.

Kima Chemical produces a range of cellulose ethers, including methyl cellulose (MC), hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC), hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC), and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC). Each of these products has unique properties and applications, making them suitable for a wide range of industries and uses.

Methyl cellulose (MC) is a nonionic cellulose ether that is widely used in construction, pharmaceuticals, and food. It is valued for its high water retention, excellent adhesion, and good film-forming properties. In construction, MC is used as a thickener and binder in mortar, stucco, and tile adhesives. In pharmaceuticals, MC is used as a binder, emulsifier, and disintegrant in tablets and capsules. In food, MC is used as a thickener and stabilizer in sauces, dressings, and desserts.

Hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) is a nonionic cellulose ether that is widely used in personal care, pharmaceuticals, and oil drilling. It is valued for its high viscosity, water retention, and excellent thickening properties. In personal care, HEC is used as a thickener and emulsifier in shampoos, lotions, and creams. In pharmaceuticals, HEC is used as a binder, disintegrant, and suspending agent in tablets and capsules. In oil drilling, HEC is used as a thickener and rheology modifier in drilling fluids.

Hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) is a nonionic cellulose ether that is widely used in pharmaceuticals, personal care, and food. It is valued for its high viscosity, water retention, and excellent film-forming properties. In pharmaceuticals, HPC is used as a binder, disintegrant, and controlled release agent in tablets and capsules. In personal care, HPC is used as a thickener and emulsifier in shampoos, lotions, and creams. In food, HPC is used as a thickener and stabilizer in sauces, dressings, and desserts.

Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) is an anionic cellulose ether that is widely used in food, pharmaceuticals, and oil drilling. It is valued for its high viscosity, water retention, and excellent binding properties. In food, CMC is used as a thickener and stabilizer in sauces, dressings, and desserts. In pharmaceuticals, CMC is used as a binder, disintegrant, and suspending agent in tablets and capsules. In oil drilling, CMC is used as a thickener and rheology modifier in drilling fluids.
