Hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) is a non-ionic cellulose ether made from natural polymer material cellulose through a series of chemical processes. It is an odorless, tasteless, non-toxic white powder or granule. It can be dissolved in cold water to form a transparent viscous solution. Dissolution is not affected by pH. It has thickening, binding, dispersing, emulsifying,
Hydroxyethyl cellulose to make water-based paint (1) Because the surface-treated hydroxyethyl cellulose is powdery or fibrous solid. When preparing hydroxyethyl cellulose mother liquor, remind you to pay attention to the following points: (1) Before and after adding hydroxyethyl cellulose, keep stirring until the solution is completely transparent and clear. (2) Slowly sieve into the mixing
Application of Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (HEC)1 Application of Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (HEC)2 This article continues to introduce the application of hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) ●Paint thickener Emulsion paint containing HEC components has the properties of fast dissolution, low foam, good thickening effect, good color expansion and more stability. Its nonionic nature helps to stabilize over a wide pH
Application of Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (HEC)1 Application of Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (HEC)3 This article continues to introduce the application of hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) ●Cosmetics and detergents HEC is an effective film former, binder, thickener, stabilizer and dispersant in shampoos, hair sprays, neutralizers, hair conditioners and cosmetics. Its thickening and protective colloid properties can be used in liquid
●Agriculture Hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) can effectively suspend solid poisons in water-based sprays. When HEC is used in spraying operations, it can play the role of adhering the poison to the leaves; HEC can be used as a thickener for spray emulsions to reduce drug drift, thereby increasing the use effect of foliar spraying. HEC can
HEC(Hydroxyethyl cellulose) is used as an additive in various aspects. This article briefly introduces the main characteristics of HEC. Thickening Hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) is an ideal thickener for paints and cosmetics. In practical application, the combination of its thickening property, suspending property, safety, dispersibility and water retention will produce more ideal effect. Pseudoplasticity Pseudoplasticity is
What is Hydroxyethyl Cellulose Hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) is an important hydroxyalkyl cellulose. It was successfully prepared by Hubert in 1920. And it is also a water-soluble cellulose ether with a large production volume in the world. It is an important cellulose ether with the largest output and rapid development after CMC and HPMC. At present,
Hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC)in aqueous liquid coating products Water-based liquid coatings are coatings that use water as a solvent or as a dispersion medium. A waterborne coating with good performance also has to have excellent handling properties, good hiding power, good film adhesion and good water retention properties. Cellulose ethers are the most suitable raw material
In this article we introduce HEC in the Coating Industry. Hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) is a white or light yellow, odourless, non-toxic fibrous or powdered solid. Prepared by etherification of basic cellulose and ethylene oxide (or chloroethanol), a non-ionic soluble cellulose ether. Due to its good thickening, suspending, dispersing, emulsifying, bonding, film forming, moisture protection and
In general, there are about three more common ways of using hydroxyethyl cellulose. These are listed here. (1) Directly at the time of production 1. Add clean water to a large vat equipped with a high pressure stirrer. 2. Start stirring continuously at low speed and slowly sift the hydroxyethyl cellulose into the solution. 3.
