General Information

The product group "cellulose derivatives" is subclassified by the type of chemical treatment into cellulose acetates, cellulose ethers and cellulose esters.
The technical applications of these materials are found in fibers, films, photographic films, glass substitute and paint binders or paper pastes, adhesives, soaps and synthetic resins.
A big consumer is the building industry, which keeps plaster, cement, wallpaper paste or special adhesives free-flowing with cellulose-based thickeners. Preferred substances are the so-called cellulose ethers, which include, particularly in the construction sector, methyl cellulose (MC), hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and methylhydroxy propyl cellulose (MHPC). The food industry also depends on the thickening effect of cellulose ether, which slows the melting of ice cream for example. In this field there are high standards for the raw materials that are used.

CONDUX CUM Universal Mill

Cellulose derivatives for technical applications as well as for the food industry are subjected to fine grindinggrinding
Crushing of a solid either in dry or suspended form. following the chemical reaction. The derivatives, which are partially in granular form, such as CMC, MC or HP-MC are ground to the desired end particle size between 180 – 800 µm with the CUM Universal MillMill
