Applications:
1. Microcrystalline Cellulose MCC
High alpha-cellulose + viscosity 408 cm³/g = high yield, stable flow properties for pharma tableting excipients.
2. Carboxymethyl Cellulose CMC / HPMC
Cotton linter base reduces pre-treatment time. Cleaner etherification vs wood pulp. Used in food, pharma, detergents.
3. Cellulose Acetate & Ethers
Low hemicellulose content improves filtration and optical clarity for acetate plastics and specialty films.
4. Specialty Paper & Filtration
Long fiber length from cotton linters gives strength + purity for battery separators, cigarette paper, lab filters.

Why Cotton Linter Cellulose vs. Wood Pulp
1. Higher alpha-cellulose: 98.6% vs 92-95% for wood. Less chemical waste.
2. Cleaner reaction: Lower lignin/hemicellulose = fewer purification steps for CMC/HPMC.
3. Consistency: Cotton linter gives tighter batch-to-batch viscosity than wood pulp.
4. EU Stock: EU warehouse cuts lead time and carbon footprint for EU buyers.

FAQ:
What is cotton linter cellulose?
Cotton linter cellulose is purified cellulose from cotton seed fibers. It has 98%+ alpha-cellulose and is preferred for pharma-grade MCC and CMC vs wood-based cellulose.
What is this cotton linter pulp used for?
It is used as raw material for CMC, paper, and reactive cellulose derivatives. It is not certified for pharmaceutical or food-contact use.
Minimum order quantity?
MOQ is 1 truckload ∼22 MT from EU warehouse. Long-term contracts for 2000+ MT/month available.
