Description
Cellulose that is partially hydrolyzed to form a gelatinous mass. Hydrocellulose is made by cooking, beating, acid-treating or alkali-treating cellulose fibers until at least 8-12% water is absorbed into the cellulose fibers. This increases the physical strength and decreases opacity of the cellulose. Hydrated cellulose is used for making greaseproof papers, mercerized cotton and viscose rayon.
Synonyms and Related Terms
hydrated cellulose; amyloid
Hazards and Safety
Combustible.
