Current Trends and Insights on Cellulose Ether Market Prices and Future Projections
The production process of MHEC powder involves several sequential stages. It commences with the extraction of cellulose from natural sources like wood pulp or cotton. Subsequently, the extracted cellulose undergoes alkalization. The ensuing step encompasses etherification via sodium mono chloroacetate, culminating in the production of MHEC. This resultant substance is then subjected to purification, drying, and milling, ultimately yielding the final MHEC product.
