Cellulose ethers rukuni ne daban-daban na abubuwan da aka samo ta hanyar sinadarai gyare-gyaren cellulose na halitta, babban bangaren ganuwar tantanin halitta. Ana ƙayyade takamaiman nau'in ether cellulose ta yanayin gyare-gyaren sinadarai da aka gabatar akan kashin bayan cellulose. Anan akwai wasu nau'ikan ethers na cellulose na yau da kullun, kowannensu yana da kaddarorinsa na musamman da aikace-aikacensa:

1. Methyl Cellulose (MC):
