Everything you wanted to know about methylcellulose (and way more than that) Chemical make up http://www.herc.com/aqualon/product_data/images/250_10h.pdf As Dietary fiber http://www.herbafood.de/forsch01_e.pdf CMC (Carboxymethylcellulose) is a cellulose ether, produced by reacting alkali cellulose with sodium monochloroacetate under rigidly controlled conditions. The cellulose is derived from...well....trees. Slightly OT...but kind of fun... From a great page on making slime ....http://freeweb.pdq.net/headstrong/slime.htm Methylcellulose []Methylcellulose is what " movie " slime is made of. It is an organic thickener used in many of the foods we eat. Mixed with a little water and coloring and allowed to " set up " , it makes one of the most beautiful of all the slimes (see " Ghostbusters " ). Unfortunately, it is organically based and tends to stink/dry out fairly quickly. Not really recommended for home use. However, if you really feel compelled to make a batch, try some of the motion picture supply houses listed on the web. ---------------------------------------------- Jay Bigam Marketing and Information Technology Manager Kinnikinnick Foods Inc. www.kinnikinnick.com Toll Free: 1- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
