Methyl cellulose can be seen as generic term for mixed etherification cellulose ethers. Common to these cellulose ethers is the methoxylation. Additionally, the conversion can be achieved either with ethylene oxide or propylene oxide. (see also chapter Basic Principles). The following final products are the result:
Tylose® MH-grades and MO-grades are water-soluble, non-ionic cellulose ethers which can create the following effects: strong water retention capabilities, binding capabilities, thickening, protective colloid capabilities and film forming effects.
These products contribute to a singular and remarkable property profile in various products for different applications – for example construction and coating compounds, ceramics and detergents.
