Note: Refers to any methylated derivative of cellulose. Methyl cellulose is a white powder that swells in water and is used as a substitute for natural gums, functioning in various commercial contexts as emulsifying, thickening, or sizing agent, lubricant, and suspension aid. In textile and paper conservation, it is used as an adhesive and as a poulticing material for removal of stains. |

Additional Notes: |
|
Dutch ..... Algemene term voor gemethyleerde derivaten van cellulose. Methylcellulose is een wit poeder dat opzwelt in water en wordt gebruikt als vervangingsmiddel voor natuurlijke gom in diverse commerciƫle toepassingen, als emulgator, verdikkingsmiddel, sterksel, smeermiddel of hulpmiddel voor suspensie. Bij conservering van textiel en papier wordt het gebruikt als hechtmiddel en als kompresmateriaal voor de verwijdering van vlekken. |
