Hydroxyethyl cellulose is a non-ionic surfactant and has the following properties:
1. 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. The non-ionic itself can coexist with other water-soluble polymers, surfactants and salts in a wide range.It is an excellent colloidal thickener containing a high concentration electrolyte solution;
3.The water retention capacity is twice that of methyl cellulose, and it has good flow regulation.
4. The dispersion ability of HEC is the worst when compared with the recognized methyl cellulose and hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, but the protective colloid is the strongest.
It can be used as an adhesive, surfactant, colloidal protective agent, dispersant, emulsifier and dispersion stabilizer. Widely used in coatings, fibers, dyeing, papermaking, cosmetics, mineral processing, oil extraction and medicine.
