Ethyl cellulose is a derivative of cellulose in which some of the hydroxyl groups on the repeating glucose units are converted into ethyl ether groups. The number of ethyl groups can vary depending on the manufacture.
It is mainly used as a thin-film coating material.
Ethyl cellulose is used as a food additive as an emulsifier (E462).
