High Clarity Low Ash Easy Dissolving Water-Based Gel Hydroxy Ethyl Cellulose
Company Profile
HEC - Introduction
Hydroxyethyl cellulose is a nonionic, water-soluble polymer widely used in industries such as architectural coatings, petroleum, pharmaceuticals, and household chemicals. It has thickening, bonding, emulsifying, dispersing, and stabilizing properties, and can retain moisture, form thin films, and provide a protective colloid effect. It is readily soluble in both cold and hot water and can provide solutions with a wide range of viscosities. Hydroxyethyl cellulose is a nonionic, water-soluble polymer produced from cellulose, a natural polymer, through a series of chemical processes. It is a slightly yellowish or white, odorless, and tasteless powdered solid.
Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (HEC) Applications
Hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) is used as an adhesive, surfactant, colloid protective agent, dispersant, emulsifier, and dispersion stabilizer. It has a wide range of applications in coatings, inks, fibers, dyeing, papermaking, cosmetics, pesticides, mineral processing, oil production, and pharmaceuticals.
1. Hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) is generally used as a thickener, protective agent, binder, stabilizer, and additive in the preparation of emulsions, jellies, ointments, lotions, eye cleansers, suppositories, and tablets. Hydroxyethyl cellulose is also used as a hydrophilic gel, a scaffold material, and in the preparation of scaffold-type sustained-release formulations. It can also be used as a stabilizer in foods.
2. Hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) is used as a sizing agent in the textile industry and as an adhesive, thickening, emulsifying, and stabilizing agent in the electronics and light industries.
3. Hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) is used as a thickener and fluid loss reducer in water-based drilling and completion fluids, particularly for thickening brine drilling fluids. It can also be used as a fluid loss reducer for oil well cement. It can cross-link with polyvalent metal ions to form a gel.
4. Hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) is used in water-based gel fracturing fluids for petroleum fracking and as a dispersant for polymers such as polystyrene and polyvinyl chloride. It can also be used as a thickener for latex thickening in the paint industry, a humidity sensor in the electronics industry, and a cement retarder and moisture retainer in the construction industry. It is also used in ceramic glazing and as a toothpaste binder. Hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) is also widely used in printing and dyeing, textiles, papermaking, medicine, hygiene, food, tobacco, pesticides, and fire extinguishing agents.
5. Hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) is used as a surfactant, colloid protective agent, and emulsion stabilizer for emulsions of vinyl chloride and vinyl acetate, as well as a thickener, dispersant, and dispersion stabilizer for latex. Hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) is widely used in coatings, fibers, dyeing, papermaking, cosmetics, medicine, and pesticides. It also has numerous applications in the oil extraction and machinery industries.
6. Hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) exhibits surface activity, thickening, suspending, binding, emulsifying, film-forming, dispersing, water-retaining, and protective properties in solid and liquid pharmaceutical preparations.
