What Is Cellulose Ether?

Cellulose ether is a water-soluble polymer derived from natural cellulose through chemical etherification modification. It is widely used as a thickener, water retention agent, rheology modifier, stabilizer, and binder in various industrial applications.

Construction grade cellulose ether is especially important in dry mix mortar systems because it significantly improves mortar consistency, worker operability, bonding strength, anti-sag performance, and water retention.

Depending on different substitution groups and production processes, cellulose ether products can be classified into several types such as HPMC, MHEC, HEC, PAC, and CMC.
