Ethocel Standard 10 Ethylcellulose Dow Chemical Vegetable-Based >> Cellulose ethers >> Ethyl cellulose, EC ADHESIVE ETHOCEL polymers are used for adhesives. ETHOCEL* polymers possess qualities that make them unique and economically advantageous. The tough ETHOCEL polymers dissolve readily in most organic solvents, are inert to most alkalis and are compatible with plasticizers, waxes, oils, and other resins. ETHOCEL polymers exhibit dimensional stability, heat stability, and low ash content. These resins provide the following performance contributions: coating strength, water resistance, high gloss, and solvent resistance to products without adding color, odor, or taste.
