Ethyl cellulose

• Description :

  Ethyl cellulose is a derivative of cellulose. Ethyl cellulose is a non-toxic, biodegradable polymer. Ethyl cellulose has unique properties such as oil gel formation, active ingredient delivery and film formation. Ethyl cellulose can be used as a pharmaceutical excipient, such as a coating agent, flavoring agent, tablet filler, etc. Ethyl cellulose can be used to prepare nanoparticles for active compound delivery[1][2][3][4].
