Some practical application cases of HEC in coatings

1. Architectural coatings

•Interior wall coatings: In latex paints and water-based interior wall coatings, HEC acts as a thickener to improve the fluidity of the coating, making it easier to apply. At the same time, it improves the adhesion and mildew resistance of the coating. Adding HEC to interior wall latex paints significantly improves the construction performance and coating quality of the product.
•Exterior wall coatings: In exterior wall coatings, HEC can improve the water resistance and aging resistance of the coating, extending the service life of the coating. When developing a certain high weather-resistant exterior wall coating, by adding HEC, the rainwater erosion resistance and UV resistance of the coating were successfully enhanced.

2. Industrial coatings

•Wood coatings: In wood coatings, HEC can help improve the leveling and glossiness of the coating, while enhancing the wear resistance and scratch resistance of the coating. After using HEC in wood coatings, the coating film of the product is smoother and the durability is significantly improved.
•Anti-corrosion coatings: In marine coatings and industrial anti-corrosion coatings, HEC can improve the adhesion and chemical corrosion resistance of the coating, enhancing the protective performance of the coating. When developing a certain seawater corrosion-resistant paint, the corrosion resistance of the paint was significantly improved by adding HEC.

3. Water-based paint

• Water-based latex paint: In water-based latex paint, HEC can be used as a dispersant stabilizer. It helps the pigment to disperse evenly and improves the hiding power and color brightness of the paint. After adding HEC to water-based latex paint, the hiding power and color stability of the product have been significantly improved.
• Water-based floor paint: In water-based floor paint, HEC can increase the viscosity and fluidity of the paint. Make it easier to apply. At the same time, it enhances the compression and impact resistance of the coating. When developing water-based epoxy floor paint. By adding HEC, the construction performance and film strength of the paint were successfully improved.

4. Special coatings

• Fire-retardant coating: In fire-retardant coating, HEC can be used as a thickener and binder. It helps to improve the adhesion and fire resistance of the paint. When developing high-efficiency fire-retardant coatings, by adding HEC. The fire resistance and fire resistance limit of the coating are significantly improved.
• Thermal insulation coating: In thermal insulation coating, HEC can improve the thermal insulation performance and weather resistance of the coating. Help extend the service life of the coating. When developing new thermal insulation coatings, by adding HEC, the thermal insulation effect and weather resistance of the coating were successfully improved.
