Description | ||
|---|---|---|
Methyl Cellulose is a non-digestible, non-toxic chemical compound derived from cellulose. In its pure form the hydrophilic white powder dissolves in cold water to form a clear viscous solution or gel. It does not dissolve in hot water. The versatile compound is sold under a variety of trade names and has a wide range of consumer and industrial applications. Methyl cellulose is synthetically produced by heating cellulose with a caustic solution (e.g. a solution of sodium hydroxide) and treating it with methyl chloride. The compound does not occur naturally. Different kinds of methyl cellulose (also known as methylcellulose) can be prepared depending on the number of hydroxyl groups that are substituted. |
