He alakaʻi nui ʻo Kima Chemical i nā cellulose ethers me ka ʻoi aku o 10 mau makahiki o ka ʻike ma ka ʻoihana. Ua ulu ka ʻoihana i lilo i mea pāʻani nui i ka mākeke cellulose ether honua. Me kona keʻena poʻo ma South Korea, ʻo Kima Chemical kahi noho ikaika ma Asia, ʻEulopa, a me ʻAmelika, me kahi waihona mea kūʻai aku e komo pū ana kekahi o nā hui nui loa o ka honua.

ʻO nā cellulose ethers kahi hui o nā polymers hiki ke hoʻoheheʻe ʻia i ka wai i loaʻa mai ka cellulose, ka mea nui o nā mea kanu. Hoʻohana nui ʻia lākou i nā ʻoihana like ʻole, me ke kūkulu ʻana, nā lāʻau lapaʻau, mālama pilikino, meaʻai, a me nā textiles. Hoʻohanohano ʻia nā cellulose ethers no kā lākou mau waiwai kūʻokoʻa, me ka viscosity kiʻekiʻe, ka paʻa ʻana o ka wai, ka mānoanoa, a me ka paʻa.

Hoʻopuka ʻo Kima Chemical i kahi ʻano o ka cellulose ethers, me ka methyl cellulose (MC), hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC), hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC), a me carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC). Loaʻa i kēlā me kēia o kēia mau huahana nā waiwai kūikawā a me nā noi, e kūpono iā lākou no ka nui o nā ʻoihana a me nā hoʻohana.

ʻO ka Methyl cellulose (MC) kahi ether nonionic cellulose i hoʻohana nui ʻia i ke kūkulu ʻana, nā lāʻau lapaʻau, a me nā meaʻai. He waiwai ia no kona paʻa wai kiʻekiʻe, ka hoʻopili maikaʻi ʻana, a me nā waiwai hana kiʻiʻoniʻoni maikaʻi. I ke kūkulu ʻana, hoʻohana ʻia ʻo MC ma ke ʻano he mānoanoa a me ka mea hoʻopaʻa i ka mortar, stucco, a me nā mea hoʻopili tile. I nā lāʻau lapaʻau, hoʻohana ʻia ʻo MC ma ke ʻano he binder, emulsifier, a me ka disintegrant i nā papa a me nā capsules. I ka meaʻai, hoʻohana ʻia ʻo MC ma ke ʻano he mānoanoa a me ka stabilizer i nā kīʻaha, nā lole, a me nā mea ʻono.

ʻO ka Hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) he ether nonionic cellulose i hoʻohana nui ʻia i ka mālama pilikino, nā lāʻau lapaʻau, a me ka ʻaila ʻaila. He waiwai ia no kona viscosity kiʻekiʻe, paʻa wai, a me nā waiwai mānoanoa maikaʻi loa. Ma ka mālama pilikino, hoʻohana ʻia ʻo HEC ma ke ʻano he mānoanoa a me ka emulsifier i nā shampoos, lotions, a me nā ʻaila. I nā lāʻau lapaʻau, hoʻohana ʻia ʻo HEC ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻopaʻa, disintegrant, a me ka suspending agent i nā papa a me nā capsules. I ka ʻaila ʻaila, hoʻohana ʻia ʻo HEC ma ke ʻano he mānoanoa a me ka rheology modifier i nā wai wili.

ʻO ka Hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) he ether nonionic cellulose i hoʻohana nui ʻia i nā lāʻau lapaʻau, mālama pilikino, a me nā meaʻai. He waiwai ia no kona viscosity kiʻekiʻe, paʻa wai, a me nā waiwai hana kiʻiʻoniʻoni maikaʻi loa. I nā lāʻau lapaʻau, hoʻohana ʻia ka HPC ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻopaʻa, disintegrant, a me ka mea hoʻokuʻu hoʻokuʻu ʻia i nā papa a me nā capsules. Ma ka mālama pilikino, hoʻohana ʻia ʻo HPC ma ke ʻano he mānoanoa a me ka emulsifier i nā shampoos, lotions, a me nā ʻaila. I ka meaʻai, hoʻohana ʻia ʻo HPC ma ke ʻano he mānoanoa a me ka stabilizer i nā kīʻaha, nā lole, a me nā mea ʻono.

ʻO Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) kahi anionic cellulose ether i hoʻohana nui ʻia i ka meaʻai, lāʻau lapaʻau, a me ka ʻaila ʻaila. He waiwai ia no kona viscosity kiʻekiʻe, paʻa wai, a me nā waiwai paʻa maikaʻi. I ka meaʻai, hoʻohana ʻia ʻo CMC ma ke ʻano he mānoanoa a me ka stabilizer i nā meaʻai, nā lole, a me nā mea ʻono. I nā lāʻau lapaʻau, hoʻohana ʻia ʻo CMC ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻopaʻa, disintegrant, a me ka suspending agent i nā papa a me nā capsules. I ka ʻaila ʻaila, hoʻohana ʻia ʻo CMC ma ke ʻano he mānoanoa a me ka rheology modifier i nā wai wili.

Ua kūpaʻa ʻo Kima Chemical i ka hana ʻana i nā ether cellulose kiʻekiʻe e kūpono i nā pono o kāna mea kūʻai. Loaʻa i ka hui kahi hale hana hou i hoʻolako ʻia me nā ʻenehana hou a me nā mea hana. Hoʻolālā ʻia ke kaʻina hana ʻo Kima Chemical e hōʻoia i ka paʻa a me ka maikaʻi, mai ka ʻimi ʻana i nā mea waiwai a hiki i ka hoʻāʻo ʻana i ka huahana hope. Hoʻopili pū ka hui i nā kūlana kūlohelohe a me ka palekana i kāna mau hana.
