Pune, India, October 18, 2017, /MRFR Press Release/- Market Research Future Published a Half-Cooked Research Report on Global Methyl Cellulose Market

Methyl Cellulose is a chemical compound that is mainly derived from cellulose. It is available in the form of a hydrophilic white powder in pure form and dissolves in cold water which then forms a clear viscous solution or gel. Various kinds of Methyl Cellulose derivatives can be prepared depending upon the number of hydroxyl groups. It is used as a thickener and emulsifier in numerous food and cosmetic products. Moreover, it is used as a water-retaining adjuvant and is used in wood finishing as a thickener additive in paints. They prevent paint pigments from settling and offer excellent smoothness and consistency along with better adhesion of paint. Furthermore, they find wide application scope in numerous applications such as cosmetic & personal care, pharmaceutical, paints & coatings, construction material, and others.
