Product Description

Hydroxyethyl cellulose HEC can be dissolved in hot or cold water, and will not precipitate at high temperature or boiling, making it have a wide range of solubility and viscosity characteristics, and non-thermal gelation; Non-ionic itself can coexist with other water-soluble polymers, surfactants, and salts in a wide range. It is an excellent colloidal thickener with a high concentration dielectric solution; its water retention capacity is double that of methyl cellulose , With good flow regulation; The dispersing ability of hydroxyethyl cellulose HEC is worse than that of recognized methyl cellulose and hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, but the protective colloid ability is strong.

Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (HEC) is nonionic water-soluble cellulose ether, used as thickener, protective colloid, water retention agent and rheology modifier in different applications like water-based paints, building materials, oil field chemicals and personal care products.
