About this product
Product information from the supplier.
Hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) is a premium non-ionic cellulose ether widely utilized across various industrial sectors. Serving as a versatile dispersant, thickener, emulsifier, and stabilizer, HEC is essential for optimizing the rheological properties of architectural paints, industrial coatings, drilling fluids, and textile pulp formation.
Our high-purity HEC is engineered for superior solubility in both hot and cold water, ensuring a clear, stable solution with peak viscosity reached within 60 minutes. With a broad viscosity range from 400 to 100,000 mPa.s, it provides precise control for diverse manufacturing applications, ensuring consistent performance and stability over long-term storage.
