Microcrystalline cellulose NEW

Microcrystalline cellulose (Microcrystallinecellulose, MCC) is a natural cellulose by acid hydrolysis to limit the product of the degree of polymerization, its color is white or almost white, odorless, tasteless, particle size is generally about 2 ~ 80 microns, the advantages of small density, high modulus, renewable, biodegradable, sources and other advantages, It can be used as a reinforcing agent to improve the properties of composite materials.

Application:

1 Filter aid: anti-caking agent, binder; Compatibilizer; Breaking agent; Dispersant; Tissue improver; Thickening agent; Water quality treatment agent. EEC regulations for beer purification. GB2760-96 is specified as a processing aid. EEC-HACSG specifies that it should not be used in baby food.

2 As an anti-caking agent, China stipulates that it can be used for powder essence, the maximum usage is 50g/kg; Can also be used for ice cream, the maximum usage is 40g.kg; It can also be used for thin cream and vegetated powder, with a maximum usage of 20.0g/kg.

3 The hydroxyl group in cellulose polymers is esterified or etherified, and many useful products can be derived. Practical application of cellulose esters are: cellulose nitrate, cellulose acetate, cellulose acetate butyrate and cellulose xanthate. Cellulose ethers are: methyl cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, cyanoethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose and hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose. In addition, there are ester ether mixed derivatives.

4 Microcrystalline cellulose can be applied to textile, clothing, brewing, food, paper and other industries.
