Why does cellulose ether agglomerate?

As an indispensable environmental-friendly additive in various fields, cellulose ether is often referred to as "industrial monosodium glutamate", which has excellent solution thickening properties, good water solubility, suspension or latex stability, film-forming properties, water retention, and adhesion. It is non-toxic and odorless, and is widely used in many fields such as building materials, medicine, food, textiles, daily chemicals, oil exploration, mining, papermaking, polymerization and aerospace.

In the process of using cellulose ether, it is sometimes found that the cellulose ether has agglomeration, which is related to the moisture resistance and compression resistance of the cellulose ether itself.

Moisture resistance of cellulose ethers

After the cellulose ether is placed for a long time, the fluidity between different products will be different, which is the moisture resistance of the product.

Compression resistance of cellulose ethers

Sometimes in the process of production and feeding, after tearing the cellulose ether product package, it is found that there is obvious agglomeration, and the agglomeration can be restored to the powder state by lightly pinching the agglomeration. This is the stress resistance of the product.

In the above two situations, cellulose ether will cause agglomeration. In order to avoid product agglomeration, in addition to selecting high-quality cellulose ether products, we should also pay attention to the following points during use:

Seal the unused cellulose ether as much as possible after opening the bag

Should not be stored for too long

When a large number of products are stacked, it is forbidden to stack directly between pallets

The whole consignment should be stored separately

The moisture resistance and compression resistance of cellulose ether products are closely related to actual production and application, and are also indicators to identify the quality of products. East Chemical cellulose ether has excellent thickening efficiency and stable thickening effect. , Good moisture resistance and pressure resistance, excellent opening state and good construction, rich product models, can provide customers with a full range of solutions.
