Non-modified cellulose ether is a natural polymer derived from plant cellulose, widely used in industries for its thickening, stabilizing, and water-retention properties. Unlike chemically modified cellulose ethers, it retains its natural structure, making it biodegradable and environmentally friendly. This article presents key data on its characteristics and uses through structured tables.
