Uses for reusable gel cold pack chemical
Gel packs are often made of non-toxic materials that will remain a slow-flowing gel, and therefore will not spill easily or cause contamination if the
container breaks. Gel packs may be made by adding hydroxyethyl cellulose (Cellusize),sodium polyacrylate, or vinyl-coated silica gel.
Hydroxyethyl cellulose a key ingredient in the formation of big bubbles as it possesses the ability to dissolve in water but also provide structural
strength to the soap bubble.
Hydroxyethyl cellulose and methyl cellulose are frequently used with hydrophobic drugs in capsule formulations, to improve the drugs' dissolution in
the gastrointestinal fluids.
Any other uses
Maybe help break phase separation in chemical reactions
Not sure if that would work
Its a gelling agent so maybe it could be mixed with denatured alcohol or isopropanol alcohol and used in a alcohol burner
My question is has anyone found a use for it
