Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (HEC)

PRODUCT INTRODUCTION

ZONEHIB^TM  HEC is a natural polymer material cellulose as raw material, which reacts with sodium hydroxide to form basic cellulose colloid,and then the ethylene oxide and other chemicals are added into the reaction to get etherification. By controlling the production parameters,the Hydroxyethyl cellulose is produced.

It is a white or light yellow powder, non-toxic, tasteless, can be quickly dissolved into hot or cool water,insoluble in general organic solvent, with excellent character of thickening, dispersing, emulsifying, adhesion,stabilizing, water retention and film forming. Also can be used as a protective colloid in some products.

PRODUCT PROPERTIES

• Increases the viscosity and stability of liquids and gels.
• With the ability to absorb and retain moisture, it is useful in products that require long-term moisture retention.
• A film can be formed on the surface of the product, which provides a barrier against external factors such as humidity, heat and UV rays.
• It is compatible with a wide range of other ingredients, which makes it a versatile additive for many industries. It can be used in combination with other polymers and surfactants.PRODUCT APPLICATIONSPaints & Coatingsdaily chemicals
