cellulose derivatives

Cellulose derivatives are chemically modified forms of cellulose, a natural polymer found in plant cell walls. By altering cellulose’s structure, these derivatives become more soluble or flowable, expanding their uses in industries like textiles, pharmaceuticals, and food. Examples include cellulose ether and cellulose acetate. They help improve texture, stability, and consistency in products such as thin films, capsules, thickeners, and adhesives, making them versatile and valuable components in many everyday items.
