The article discusses the features and use of artificial resins obtained by ethirification of cellulose. Apart from the two generally known and frequently used ethers: methyl cellulose and carboxymethyl cellulose, other ethers were pointed out, such as ethyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose and benzyl cellulose. The commercial names and names of producers of the more important cellulose ethers were given, with literature concerning their use in the conservation of paper, natural fibre fabrics and paintings done in distemper.
