      Product Detail  


    Methyl Cellulose (MC)
    CAS Number: 9004-67-5
    Methyl cellulose is a chemically modified cellulose ether where some hydroxyl groups of cellulose are replaced with methoxy (–OCH₃) groups. This modification changes the solubility and functional properties of natural cellulose.

    It is non-toxic, non-ionic, water-soluble, and widely used in industrial, pharmaceutical, food, and construction applications.

    ✅ What It Is

    Methyl cellulose is:

    A white to off-white powder

    Soluble in cold water, forming clear to slightly opaque gels/solutions

    Thermo-gelling (turns into a gel when heated and becomes liquid when cooled)

    Stable, with excellent film-forming and thickening capabilities

    Chemically inert and compatible with most other ingredients

    ✅ Key Functional Properties

    Thickening / viscosity building

    Film formation

    Water retention

    Suspension and emulsification aid

    Binding and adhesion

    Stabilization

    Thermo-gelation (unique behavior of methyl cellulose)

    ⭐ Main Uses of Methyl Cellulose (CAS 9004-67-5)
    1. Construction Materials

    Very widely used in construction chemicals:

    Tile adhesives

    Cement-based mortars

    Gypsum-based plasters

    Self-leveling compounds

    EIFS/ETICS adhesives

    Putty powders and wall coatings

    Benefits:

    Improves workability

    Enhances water retention

    Prevents sagging

    Improves adhesion and open time

    Enhances consistency and spreadability

    2. Food Industry (Food Grade MC – E461)

    Used as:

    Thickener

    Stabilizer

    Emulsifier

    Fat replacer

    Coating agent

    Examples:

    Ice cream

    Bakery fillings

    Gluten-free baked goods

    Vegan meats (MC helps gel/texture creation)

    Edible films

    3. Pharmaceutical Industry

    Used as:

    Binder in tablets

    Film-coating agent

    Controlled-release matrix material

    Suspending agent in syrups

    Drug delivery formulations

    Safe, non-toxic, and widely approved internationally.

    4. Personal Care & Cosmetics

    Used in:

    Lotions and creams

    Shampoo and conditioner

    Toothpaste

    Eye drops (as a lubricant)

    Gel-based cosmetics

    Provides thickness, smooth texture, and stability.

    5. Paints, Coatings & Adhesives

    Used as:

    Thickener

    Rheology modifier

    Binder

    Anti-sagging agent

    Improves application performance and viscosity stability.

    6. Paper, Textiles & Other Industries

    Paper coating formulations

    Textile printing pastes

    Ceramic extrusion aids

    Detergents

    Oil drilling fluids (as a viscosifier)

    ECHEMI Editorial Reference
    It is a kind of methyl ether of cellulose. It is white or pale yellow or light gray small particles (95% through a 40 mesh sieve), filaments like or powder. It is odorless, tasteless and has hygroscopicity with an apparent density of 0.3~0.7g/mL.When all the R in the structure is methyl, the substitution degree is equal to 3, and the methoxy content is 45.57%. For methylcellulose used as the food additive, the methoxy content should be around 26%~33% which corresponds to a degree of substitution of 1.7 to 2.2. When the substitution degree is lower than 1.3, it can be dissolved in alkaline. While methylcellulose with substitution degree higher than 2.6 is soluble in an organic solvent. When the degree of substitution is less than 1.3, it can be dissolved in alkali; for those with substitution degree higher than 2.6, it is soluble in organic solution. At the range between 1.3 and 2.6, it is soluble in cold water, pyridine, aniline, trimethyl formamide, benzyl alcohol and acetic acid.Aqueous solution is stable at neutral and room temperature; but it can generate gelation effect and be precipitated at high temperature. Gelation temperature is dependent on the absolute viscosity and concentration of the solution; solution of large viscosity and high concentration has a relative low gelling temperature. In the presence of inorganic salts, viscosity can be increased. Due to that it belongs to a non-ionic solution, the polyvalent metal is not able to precipitate it; Gelation will only occur when the concentration of the electrolyte and other dissolved substances exceeds a certain limit.Aqueous solution has surfactant activity and dried to form a thin film; upon heating and cooling, it will orderly go through the reversible transition from the sol to gel.
    white powder or (often) 2% solution in water, properties
    Methylcellulose occurs as a white, fibrous powder or granules. It is practically odorless and tasteless. It should be labeled to indicate its viscosity type (viscosity of a 1 in 50 solution).
    Methyl cellulose is a water soluble, gel-like substance with no odor and no taste.
    Odorless white or creamy white fibrous powder. Tasteless.
