Cellulose gum is derived from some natural polymers such as cotton and pulp.It's vegetarian. Major cellulose gum manufacturers all over the world include CP Kelco, Danisco, Ashland, Lihong, Everbright, Shanghai Bichain Industrial Chemical. etc.

Cellulose gum is called sodium carboxyethylcellulose and CMC. It is widely used as a viscosity modifier in food industries such as bakery, soft drink, juice, ice cream and sauce.It's vegetarian.
Cellulose gum is also widely used in oilfield drilling with another name of "polyanionic cellulose". Polyanionic cellulose regular grade (PAC R or PAC HV) is a premium grade modified cellulose with high viscosity and high molecular weight which can be used as a viscosifier and fluid loss control additive in water-based drilling mud systems. PAC R can provide excellent viscosity and reduce API filtration rate for oil well drilling fluids. API 13A and OCMA grades polyanionic cellulose (pac) in oil and gas drilling can help control fluid loss and coat drilling cuttings.

Where does viscose and cellulose acetate come from?

Viscose is derived from wood pulp or cotton cellulose, which is chemically treated to create a semi-synthetic fiber. Cellulose acetate is made from cellulose derived from wood pulp or cotton and then chemically treated with acetic acid. Both materials are commonly used in the production of textiles and clothing.


What is a cellulose sponge made of?

A cellulose sponge is made of, well, cellulose. Cellulose is the main component of plant cell walls, so many plant derived products are cellulose based. Wood is about 50% cellulose, paper and cardboard are almost entirely cellulose, and most plant fibers are mostly cellulose- cotton is about 90% cellulose. the wikipedia article is decent: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellulose


Does iodine react with cellulose?

Iodine can react with cellulose through a process called iodination. When cellulose is treated with iodine, the iodine molecules can attach to the hydroxyl groups on the cellulose chains. This reaction can be used in chemistry to modify cellulose and produce different types of cellulose derivatives.


Which is the best viscosity agent Sodium Carboxy methyl cellulose or Calcium Carboxy methyl cellulose?

Sodium Carboxymethyl cellulose will be better viscosifier as compared to calcium carboxymethyl celluose.Since during washing process sodium chloride will be removed as impurities therefore leading to pure Na CMC with viscosity depending upon the molecular weight of wood pulp or cotton linter.


What is aquacel made of?

Aquacel is a type of wound dressing made primarily of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose fibers derived from cellulose, a natural polymer found in plants. These fibers are highly absorbent and form a gel when in contact with wound exudate, helping to create a moist wound healing environment. Aquacel may also contain additional components such as antimicrobial agents or silver to aid in preventing infection.

Can Hydroxyethyl Cellulose be used to make gel air freshner?

Yes, Hydroxyethyl Cellulose can be used to thicken the solution in gel air fresheners. It helps to create a stable gel structure and control the viscosity of the product. Additionally, it can improve the adhesion of fragrance components to the gel.


What is tylose powder made of?

Methyl hydroxyethyl cellulose (MHEC) or Methyl hydroxypropyl cellulose (MHPC). This is a modified form of cellulose, which is naturally present in plants. When methyl groups and hydroxy groups are added to cellulose, the cellulose becomes easier to dissolve in water and from a gel.
