ʻO nā cellulose ethers kahi hui like ʻole o nā derivatives i loaʻa ma ka hoʻololi ʻana i ka cellulose kūlohelohe maoli, ka mea nui o nā paia o nā mea kanu. Hoʻoholo ʻia ke ʻano kikoʻī o ka cellulose ether e ke ʻano o nā hoʻololi kemika i hoʻokomo ʻia i ka iwi kuamoʻo cellulose. Eia kekahi mau ʻano maʻamau o ka cellulose ethers, kēlā me kēia me kāna mau waiwai kūʻokoʻa a me nā noi.

1. Methyl Cellulose (MC):
   • Hoʻololi Kemika: Hoʻokomo i nā hui methyl ma luna o ka iwi kuamoʻo cellulose.
   • Nā waiwai a me nā noi:
     • Hiki i ka wai.
     • Hoʻohana ʻia i loko o nā mea hana (motar, adhesives), nā meaʻai, a me nā lāʻau lapaʻau (pale papa).
2. Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (HEC):
   • Hoʻololi Kemika: Hoʻokomo i nā hui hydroxyethyl ma ka iwi kuamoʻo cellulose.
   • Nā waiwai a me nā noi:
     • Hiki ke hoʻoheheʻe ʻia i ka wai.
     • Hoʻohana maʻamau i nā mea hoʻonaninani, nā huahana mālama pilikino, nā pena, a me nā lāʻau lapaʻau.
3. Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC):
   • Hoʻololi Kemika: Hoʻokomo i nā hui hydroxypropyl a me methyl ma luna o ka iwi kuamoʻo cellulose.
   • Nā waiwai a me nā noi:
     • Hiki i ka wai.
     • Hoʻohana nui ʻia i nā mea hana (motars, coatings), pharmaceuticals, a me nā huahana meaʻai.
4. Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC):
   • Hoʻololi Kemika: Hoʻokomo i nā hui carboxymethyl ma luna o ka iwi kuamoʻo cellulose.
   • Nā waiwai a me nā noi:
     • Hiki i ka wai.
     • Hoʻohana ʻia e like me ka mānoanoa a me ka stabilizer i nā huahana meaʻai, lāʻau lapaʻau, textiles, a me nā wai wili.
5. Hydroxypropyl Cellulose (HPC):
   • Hoʻololi Kemika: Hoʻokomo i nā hui hydroxypropyl ma luna o ka iwi kuamoʻo cellulose.
   • Nā waiwai a me nā noi:
     • Hiki i ka wai.
     • Hoʻohana maʻamau i nā lāʻau lapaʻau ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻopaʻa, mea hana kiʻiʻoniʻoni, a me ka mānoanoa.
6. Ethyl Cellulose (EC):
   • Hoʻololi Kemika: Hoʻokomo i nā hui ethyl ma luna o ka iwi kuamoʻo cellulose.
   • Nā waiwai a me nā noi:
     • Hiki ʻole i ka wai.
     • Hoʻohana ʻia i loko o nā uhi, nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni, a me nā ʻano lāʻau lapaʻau hoʻokuʻu ʻia.
7. Hydroxyethyl Methyl Cellulose (HEMC):
   • Hoʻololi Kemika: Hoʻokomo i nā hui hydroxyethyl a me methyl ma ka iwi kuamoʻo cellulose.
   • Nā waiwai a me nā noi:
     • Hiki i ka wai.
     • Hoʻohana maʻamau i nā mea hana (motar, grouts), pena, a me nā mea hoʻonaninani.

Ua koho ʻia kēia mau ʻano cellulose ethers e pili ana i kā lākou mau waiwai kikoʻī a me nā hana e pono ai no nā noi like ʻole. Hoʻoholo ka hoʻololi kemika i ka solubility, viscosity, a me nā hiʻohiʻona hana ʻē aʻe o kēlā me kēia cellulose ether, e hana ana i nā mea hoʻohui like ʻole i nā ʻoihana e like me ke kūkulu ʻana, nā lāʻau lapaʻau, nā meaʻai, nā mea hoʻonaninani, a me nā mea hou aku.
