Okwangoku, iteknoloji yokuguqulwa kweselulosi igxile kakhulu kwi-etherification kunye ne-esterification.I-Carboxymethylation luhlobo lwetekhnoloji ye-etherification.I-Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) ifunyenwe yi-carboxymethylation ye-cellulose, kwaye isisombululo sayo samanzi sinemisebenzi yokuqina, ukubunjwa kwefilimu, ukudibanisa, ukugcinwa komswakama, ukukhuselwa kwe-colloidal, i-emulsification kunye nokumiswa, kwaye isetyenziselwa ngokubanzi ukuhlamba, i-petroleum, ukutya, amayeza, impahla yelaphu nephepha kunye namanye amashishini.Yenye yezona zinto zibalulekileyo ze-cellulose ethers.
