What is the difference of Cellulose Ether for daily chemical application？

Recently, there are many customers in the Middle East and North Africa region who are interested in cellulose ethers in the field of daily chemicals, and they hope that we can recommend suitable grades of cellulose ether for their appliction. Therefore, we will explain the above customer concerns and products.

Cellulose ethers in the field of daily chemical applications

The products in the field of daily chemicals are different from other fields such as construction and medicine. A significant difference is that products in the field of daily chemical have to undergo a special process ------ surface treatment. The so-called surface treatment is to prolong the dissolution time of HPMC by means of physical blending and chemical solution treatment. Surface treatment HPMC is put into the water, it will not dissolve immediately, but quickly disperse in the water, Only after all HPMC powder dispersed in the water, it will dissolved Therefore, the treated cellulose is also called delayed dissolved cellulose.

Why do surface treatment for cellulose ether?

In fact, we can be seen from the above description that, unlike cellulose ether in the construction field, most of the surface treatment products are directly put into the solution. Such as detergents, perfumes, cosmetics, lotions, etc. Therefore, if the cellulose is not surface treated, the cellulose put into the water immediately dissolves in the water. A colloidal body forms on the surface, completely isolating the water from the cellulose inside. This causes the cellulose inside to be insoluble in water, resulting in clumps or flocculent solids that cannot be used.

The above introduction is the reason for the surface treatment of cellulose ether. So, what are the important properties of cellulose used in the field of daily chemical?

In my opinion, there are mainly the following points:

1. High viscosity. Customers require the viscosity of the product to make the washing product have a better experience during use. Therefore, Mikem chemical recommendation for cellulose in the field of daily chemicals is generally MP70000SD. This is the most viscous model in our product range. It is also the most popular model in related fields.
2. Good light transmission. The field of daily chemical products require good light transmission, no unknown precipitation andno special color. Preferably a completely transparent and transparent product.
3. Strong biological stability. Customers require the stability of the product is good, not easy to be attacked by mold and other bacteria and denaturation. Can be stored and used for a long time.
4. No special smell. Due to the particularity of the industry, customers require that the product cannot have any odor, and most customers will also carry out a variety of different fragrance treatments on the product to attract customers.

The above is the relevant introduction of products in the field of daily chemical, hoping to help customers better choose our products.
