Food grade ethyl cellulose is one of few non-toxic films and thickeners which are not water-soluble. This property allows it to be used to safeguard ingredients from water.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dow.com/dowwolff/en/industrial_solutions/polymers/ethylcellulose/|title=Ethylcellulose|website=www.dow.com}}</ref> |

Ethyl cellulose is commonly used as a coating material for tablets and capsules, as it provides a protective barrier that prevents the active ingredients from being released too quickly in the digestive system.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ihpmc.com/ethyl-celluloseec-product/|title=Ethyl Cellulose|website=www.ihpmc.com}}</ref> EC is also used as a binder, thickener, and stabilizer in a variety of food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical products. |
