1.Good workability The hydroxyethyl cellulose HEC thickened coating has pseudoplasticity, so it can be applied by brushing, spraying, roller coating, etc.It has the advantages of labor-saving, easy to hang, not splashing, dripping and sagging., Leveling is also better.
2.Good storage stability During the storage process of the paint, it can maintain the suspension and dispersion of the pigment, without floating color and flowering, the water layer on the surface of the paint is less, and the viscosity is still relatively high when the storage temperature changes stable.

Since hydroxyethyl cellulose has a strong water-retaining ability, HEC is an effective thickener and binder for cement mortar and mortar.Adding it to mortar can improve the fluidity and construction performance, and can prolong the water evaporation time and improve the initial stage of concrete Avoid cracks.Used for plastering plaster, bonding plaster, plaster putty can significantly improve its water retention and bonding strength.
