Brief: Discover Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (HEC) for water-based coatings, a versatile binder used in pharmaceuticals, coatings, and oilfield applications. Learn about its non-toxic, non-ionic properties, and wide solubility range.
Related Product Features:
Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (HEC) is a white or pale yellow, odorless, non-toxic fibrous or powdered solid.
HEC is soluble in hot or cold water and does not precipitate at high temperatures, offering wide solubility and viscosity characteristics.
It acts as a nonionic surfactant with thickening, suspending, binding, and water-retaining properties.
HEC's water-retaining capacity is twice that of methylcellulose, with excellent flow control.
Widely used in oil extraction, coatings, construction, medicine, food, textiles, and papermaking.
Available in various viscosity specifications for different industrial applications.
Packaged in 25kg polyethylene plastic film bags with three-in-one composite paper or barrel outer.
Stored in ventilated, dry places to avoid moisture and chemical interactions.
