Maple Biotech Pvt. Ltd., is a company dedicated to manufacture of quality chemicals. At present company is manufacturing Powdered Cellulose for Food & Pharmaceuticals application. Powdered Cellulose is manufactured by chemical treatment of very high quality wood pulp followed by some other mechanical treatments.

PROPERTIES OF POWDERED CELLULOSE:

PURITY : Powdered Cellulose is prepared from high purity cellulose pulp. They contain extremely little amount of impurities and almost no ash is left after its combustion.

ABSORBING PROPERTY: Powdered Cellulose is negatively charged in water. It can absorb metallic and cationic components from solutions containing such an ionic materials.

ELECTRIC PROPERTIES: Powdered Cellulose exhibit very superior electric resistance property even at high humidity conditions as it has less water absorption tendency.

THERMAL PROPERTIES: Powdered Cellulose has very good thermal resistance but starts changing colour at 150 deg. centigrade.

HYGROSCOPICITY: Powdered Cellulose has certain limitation in moisture absorption. It has very low tendency to absorb moisture. At 65% relatives humidity and 20 deg. centigrade it can absorb moisture maximum to 8% of its weight even after prolonged storage for several months at this condition.

AFFINITY FOR DYES AND PIGMENTS: Powdered Cellulose can be dyed homogeneously in the same manner as the dying of wood pulp, cotton etc. and moreover their affinities for pigments are also strong.

SOLUBILITY: Powdered Cellulose is insoluble in water and most of the solvents except some special solvents for Cellulose like cuprammoniom.
