Methyl cellulose, also known as cellulose methyl ether, or MC (and abbreviation for MethylCellulose), is a long-chain substituted cellulose. At room temperature, Methyl cellulose exists as a white powder or fibrous material, characterized by its non-toxic, non-irritating, and non-allergenic properties. It swells in water, forming a semi-transparent, viscous colloidal solution, exhibiting neutrality to litmus. Methyl cellulose is insoluble in ethanol, ether, and chloroform but dissolves readily in glacial acetic acid. It's resistant to the effects of acids, alkalis, microorganisms, heat, and light, it remains unaffected by oils and greases. However, it combusts when reaching its ignition point. It's commonly used as thickeners; stabilizers; emulsifiers; excipients; dispersants; adhesives; film-forming agents; and hydrosol substitutes.
