ETHYL CELLULOSE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Ethyl cellulose is a white, odorless, free-flowing powder used as a film-former, binder, and thickener in various applications, including coatings, inks, and pharmaceuticals. It is non-toxic and generally considered safe to handle, but proper storage and use of personal protective equipment (PPE) are recommended to ensure safety.
