EC N20

KimaCell^® EC N20 ethyl cellulose is also called cellulose ether, referred to as EC. 

Molecular composition and structural formula: [C6H7O2(OC2H5)x(OH)3-x]n. 

Appearance: white to light yellow or light gray fluid powder or granules, odorless, tasteless, non-toxic, thermoplastic for EC with a degree of substitution above 1.5. 

Properties: The 5% suspension of EC is neutral to litmus paper; the softening point is 135~155°C, the melting point is 165~185°C, the pseudo specific gravity is 0.3~0.4g/cm3, and the relative density is 1.07~1.18g/cm3 , ignition point: 330-360OC; EC has good stability to light, heat, oxygen and humidity, stable to chemicals, not easy to burn; can withstand strong alkali, dilute acid and salt solution, EC is generally insoluble in water, but soluble in different Non-ionic cellulose ethers in organic solvents, such as alcohols, ethers, ketones, aromatics, halogenated hydrocarbons and other organic solvents; compatible with many celluloses, resins and almost all plasticizers; ethyl cellulose It has low flammability, low hygroscopicity, good electrical properties, and its films and plastics have good mechanical strength and flexibility in a wide temperature range.
