Hydroxyethyl Methyl Cellulose(HEMC)
PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
HOSECHEMTM HEMC is made from highly pure cotton-cellulose by reaction of etherification under alkaline conditions.It is excellent in water solubility, water retention, surface activity, thickening, film formation, adhesion, suspension, and high-temperature resistance, etc.
It could be soluble in water to form a transparent solution and widely used in construction and building material, dry mix mortar industry. The market for HEMC in the paint industry is growing steadily due to its wide range of benefits and its compatibility with various paint formulations. It is commonly used in both water-based and solvent-based paints, making it a versatile choice for manufacturers.
PRODUCT PROPERTIES
- Construction
Used as a thickening agent and water retention agent for products to improve work ability and strength, reduce cracking and shrinkage.
- Personal care
Thickeners and stabilizers for various personal care products to enhance product ductility and foaming properties.
- Paints and coatings
Used as thickeners, stabilizers and film-forming agents to improve viscosity and flow of products, and enhance adhesion and durability of coatings.
- Adhesives and sealants
Used as a thickener and water retention agent to provide better work ability and adhesion properties for products.
