Some part of the cellulose fraction is redirected to make cellulose derivatives, such as cellulose acetate, methyl and ethyl cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, and hydroxypropyl cellulose. These derivatives find multiple applications, for instance, as additives in current products (e.g., paints, lacquers) of chemical industry. Typically, the preparation of cellulose derivatives takes place as a two-phase reaction cellulose is pretreated, for example, with alkali, and a reagent is added to get the substitution. Usually no catalyst is needed [5]. 

The classic studies of Saunders( 17) demonstrated that in the presence of excess surfactant methyl cellulose (MC) would desorb from monodispersed polystyrene latices. MC is one of the most surface active water-soluble polymers (W-SPs) and it will readily dominate the surface pressure 7T (7T = cre - cr t where cr is the surface tension of water and is the surface tension of the aqueous polymer solution) of the aqueous solution. For example, hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) lowers the surface tension of water much less than MC or HPMC, and when the combination of HEC and MC or HPMC in water is studied, there is no notable influence of HEC on the surface pressure (Figure 2). 

Similar increases in k with ultrasonic intensity have been found for other polymers such as polystyrene [44], poly(methyl methacrylate) [45], poly(dimethylsiloxane) [46], poly(ethyleneoxide), hydroxyethyl cellulose, poly(vinyl acetate), poly(acrylamide)... 

Grafting reactions carried out in the homogeneous medium for carboxymethyl cellulose, methyl cellulose, and hydroxyethyl cellulose, always achieved higher degree of grafting efficiency than those samples such as cellulose, ethyl cellulose and acetyl cellose, irradiated in the hetero-geneus medium.

Polymers such as polyfvinyl alcohol), dextrans, hydroxyethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, and polyfethylene oxide) can be used as dynamic or permanent coatings. The latter mode is generally more effective.

Hydroxyethyl cellulose is insoluble in most organic solvents. It is incompatible with zein and partially compatible with the following water-soluble compounds casein gelatin methyl-cellulose polyvinyl alcohol, and starch. 

The PhEur 2005 describes hydroxyethylmethyl cellulose as a partly O-methylated and 0-(2-hydroxyethylated) cellulose. Various different grades are available, which are distinguished by appending a number indicative of the apparent viscosity in millipascal seconds (mPas) of a 2% w/v solution measured at 20°C.

Cellulose derivatives (methyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, etc.) and starch derivatives are more useful binders. 

Cellulose ethers, more particularly methyl cellulose (MQ, methylhydroxypro-pyl cellulose (MHPC) and hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) are used as protective colloids also called primary suspending agents in suspension polymerization for the manufacturing of S-PVC. Their role is maintaining the particle size of the resin. Hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) is preferred for manufacturing of vinyl acetate emulsion polymers and as a thickening agent in dispersimi paints. 

Magnetic tapes are usually coated with coatings from solvents, such as methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, and toluene. Aqueous replacements can eliminate all or nearly all of the solvents.352 One system used iron oxide in a blend of a polyurethane and ethylene-vinyl chloride copolymer emulsions thickened with hydroxyethyl cellulose, which was cross-linked with a melamine-formaldehyde resin. Coating was done at line speeds of 100 m/min. The whole system proved to be 15% cheaper than coating from solvent. In another system, traces of methanol are evolved on drying and would have to be captured. This replaces a line where 600 kg/h of solvent would have to be recovered and recycled.
