Product Description
Hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC), a white or light yellow, odorless, non-toxic fibrous or powdery solid, prepared by etherification of basic cellulose and ethylene oxide (or chloroethanol) Non-ionic soluble cellulose ethers.Because HEC has good characteristics of thickening, suspending, dispersing, emulsifying, bonding, film-forming, protecting moisture and providing protective colloids, it has been widely used in petroleum mining, coatings, construction, medical food, textiles, paper making and polymers 1.Polymerization and other fields:
HEC is soluble in hot or cold water, and does not precipitate at high temperature or boiling, making it have a wide range of solubility and viscosity characteristics, and non-thermal gelation;
2.Good color development hydroxyethyl cellulose HEC has excellent miscibility with most binders and colorants, making the formulated coatings have good color stability and consistency.
