Talk:Methyl cellulose

message: Would like to see multiple citations discussing allergic response.  From personal experience, some 'celluloses' are allergenic or at least like carrageenan cause some immunogenic response.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.13.43.137 (talk) 15:08, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

message: Is it just me, or is the Special Effects paragraph about porn a little bit on the TMI side of this article?
:Well, it IS used in pornos, and this is a fact.  Since wikipedia strives for facts, I would assume that they would do want to have facts in their article.  So TMI or not, there it is.
::Porn mention stays, it is relevant, someone find some scholarly article on it right now and source it up.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.148.25.203 (talk) 05:17, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Porn mention 

message: Methylcellulose is used as E461 in some "foods". Seems weird no one has mentioned any sideeffects, as many other methyl compounds have serious cancerogenic effects. Electron9 10:48, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Toxicity? 

message: Is methyl cellulose fermentable in the colon?  Does it have the beneficial effect as as other, natural soluble fiber that is fermantable in the colon?  Seems like it should, but I'm not sure and it's unclear from what's in the article so far.  I'm interested as I'm taking it for constipation and it would be nice to know if it had this added benefit.  If it doesn't, I'd switch to a product that did.  I think many other folks in the same situation would do the same as well.  It sucks when you're backed up, but if there's something that would help on the heart disease front as well, hell, that's good stuff.

message: Jake Benson wrote a detailed tech note on MC for book repair related tasks:
"Methyl Cellulose is a very general name for a range of cellulosic ethers
that have been "methylated", with added hydroxyl groups, which allows for
better water absorption, gel consistency and clarity.  Usually these are
varieties of hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose.  There is also hydroxypropyl
ethyl cellulose, commonly known as ethulose (which I have heard some use for
oil marbling), of which I think, Tylose is an example.
Dow manufactures a number of varieties under the brand name "Methocel" with
various grades such as A4M (not very clear, somewhat grainy consistency,
excellent for poulticing spines in book restoration, terrible for marbling),
E4M (clearer than A4M, still very viscous, used for spine poulticing,
adhesive additive, and could be used for marbling is thinned enough and
allowed to swell), etc.  These gels can only be dispersed in hot water, then
topped up with cold water and allowed to swell.  They are more commonly used
as adhesive additives in bookbinding, though some use them for marbling as
well.  If you buy "Methyl Cellulose" from a craft store, it would do you
well to learn more about what it is exactly: what grade it is, resulting
viscosity and centipoise (Cps).  Dow publishes an excellent technical
booklet on Methyl Cellulose which I highly recommend.  I got it for free
when I called 1-800-447-4369 (number is a few years old, but it may still
work).  They also sent me several jars of different grades to experiment
with."
It would be nice to see more book convservation-related details in the article.

thread_title:  Different grades for book repair 

message: Basic information to add to this article: what, exactly, is the cellulose methylcellulose is made from derived from? How is it that articles like this almost always fail to explain which raw materials are used to produce these compounds? Is it wood? 173.88.246.138 (talk) 02:11, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
