DISPERSION COMPRISING AN ESTERIFIED CELLULOSE ETHER

摘要

Capsule shells and coatings can be prepared from an aqueous composition comprising a) at least 20 percent, based on the total weight of the aqueous composition, of a dispersed esterified cellulose ether comprising (i) groups of the formula -C(O) - R - COOA or (ii) a combination of aliphatic monovalent acyl groups and groups of the formula -C(O) - R - COOA, wherein R is a divalent aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon group and A is hydrogen or a cation, b) from 0.05 to 20 percent of a salt of a fatty acid, based on the weight of the dispersed esterified cellulose ether, and c) from 0.01 to 10 percent of an anionic surfactant comprising a sulfate or sulfonate group, based on the weight of the dispersed esterified cellulose ether.
