description Product Description
α-Cellulose is widely used in the production of microcrystalline cellulose (MCC), a key ingredient in pharmaceuticals as a binder, disintegrant, and filler in tablet formulations. It is also employed in the food industry as a stabilizer, thickener, and dietary fiber additive in products like ice cream, sauces, and baked goods. In the paper industry, it serves as a raw material for high-quality paper and specialty papers, including filter papers and currency notes. Additionally, α-Cellulose is utilized in the manufacturing of cellulose-based plastics, films, and fibers, contributing to sustainable and biodegradable materials. Its high purity makes it suitable for use in chromatography as a stationary phase in column and thin-layer chromatography. Furthermore, it is applied in the production of cellulose derivatives, such as cellulose ethers and esters, which are used in coatings, adhesives, and construction materials.
