1. Main Applications

1  Industrial EC
EC can be widely used in various painting, such as metal surface coating, paper product painting, rubber coating, heat-melt coating, and coating for integrated circuit (IC), etc., used in inks like magnetic ink, gravure ink and  ink as cold-resistant material, used in special plastics and deposits, for instance coated tape for rocket propellant, used in insulation material and cable coating, used as polymer suspension polymerization dispersant, binder for hard alloy and ceramics, and used in textile Industry as printing paste.

2,EC for Medicine
    Since it is insoluble in water, EC is mainly used as tablet binder and film coating material, etc. It is also used as retarder of framework material for preparing various types of matrix sustained-release tablets, used in hybrid material for preparing coating sustained-release preparation and piller, and used in vitamin and mineral tablets as binder, retarder and moisture proof agent.

EC product should be packed into edible polyethylene film inner-bag enclosed by composite paper-plastic outer-bag and fiberboard drum. Net weight is 10kg, 20kg and 25 kg per piece, respectively.
