Product Description

Hydroxyethyl cellulose HEC is the most commonly used thickener in latex coatings. In addition to thickened latex paint, it also has the functions of emulsification, dispersion, stability and water retention. This product is characterized by a significant thickening effect, good film formation and storage stability. Hydroxyethyl cellulose HEC is a nonionic cellulose derivative that can be used in a wide range of pH. It has good compatibility with the composition of other materials such as pigments, additives, fillers and salts. Coatings thickened with hydroxyethyl cellulose HEC have good fluidity and plasticity at various shear rates. Can be applied by painting, roller, spraying and other construction methods.

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.
