Best Answer

Practically insoluble in water, in glycerol, and in propane-1,2-diol, but

soluble in varying proportions in certain organic solvents, depending upon

the ethoxyl content. Ethyl cellulose containing less than 46-48% of ethoxyl

groups is freely soluble in tetrahydrofuran, in methyl acetate, in chloroform,

and in aromatic hydrocarbon ethanol mixtures. Ethylcellulose containing 46-

48% or more of ethoxyl groups is freely soluble in ethanol, in methanol, in

toluene, in chloroform, and in ethyl acetate.
