HEC is produced from cellulose, 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.

 

HEC 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. It can be widely used in oil drilling, coatings, food, textile, building and macromolecule polymerization, etc.

Our Chemicals have wide applications such as tile adhesive for dry mix mortar, Hydroxypropyl Methyl Celllulose is the main additive, it has good product performance to maintain high water retention of mortar, customers usually choose Redispersible Polymer Powder also to add the adhesion of the product.
