Methyl cellulose, 4000 mPa.S (2% H₂O), wit, powder
Methyl cellulose
An aqueous solution is best prepared by dispersing the granules in hot (but not boiling) water with stirring and chilling to +5 °C. The solution is then stable at room temperature. Presence of inorganic salts increases the viscosity.
Prepared from wood pulp by treatment with alkali and methylation of the alkali cellulose with methyl chloride.
Methyl cellulose is a chemical compound derived from cellulose. It is a hydrophilic white powder in pure form and dissolves in cold (but not in hot) water, forming a clear viscous solution or gel. It is used as a thickener and emulsifier in various food and cosmetic products. It is not digestible, not toxic, and not an allergen.
