A TECHNOLOGY FOR PRODUCING CELLULOSE ETHER HAS BEEN DEVELOPED IN MORDOVIA
Scientists of Mordovian State University named after N.P. Ogarev developed a technology for producing hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), a cellulose ether that is used in industry, construction and oil production. This is reported by the press service of the Mordovian State University. At the moment, only a few foreign companies produce HPMC, and there is no production of this ether in Russia. Therefore, the production technology developed by Mordovian scientists will solve the problem of import substitution.
