What is cellulose gel made of?

Answer 1

Cellulose gel is made of the same as cellulose gum; it is from the cellulose of plants. Therefore; it is Vegan.

Cellulose gum is derived from some natural polymers such as cotton and pulp.It's vegetarian. Major cellulose gum manufacturers all over the world include CP Kelco, Danisco, Ashland, Lihong, Everbright, Shanghai Bichain Industrial Chemical. etc.

Cellulose gum is called sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and CMC. It is widely used as a viscosity modifier in food industries such as bakery, soft drink, juice, ice cream and sauce.It's vegetarian.
Cellulose gum is also widely used in oilfield drilling with another name of "polyanionic cellulose". Polyanionic cellulose regular grade (PAC R or PAC HV) is a premium grade modified cellulose with high viscosity and high molecular weight which can be used as a viscosifier and fluid loss control additive in water-based drilling mud systems. PAC R can provide excellent viscosity and reduce API filtration rate for oil well drilling fluids. API 13A and OCMA grades polyanionic cellulose (pac) in oil and gas drilling can help control fluid loss and coat drilling cuttings.
