Hydroxyethyl Cellulose Chemical HEC For Paints And Coatings

HEC cellulose is mainly used as viscosities and fluid loss agent in oil drilling industry. High-viscosity HEC is mainly used as viscosities in well-completing or finishing fluid; while low-viscosity HEC is mainly used as fluid loss agent.

Paints & Coating Grade HEC,HEC cellulose provides excellent thickening efficiency, color development, open time, and superior resistance to biodegradation. It also plays a role in the emulsion, dispersion, stability and water retention. The coating has good rheological properties at different shear rates, and has good workability and leveling performance, good splash and sag resistance.

Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (HEC) APPLICATION

1. For water-based latex coatings: It can significantly improve thickening and leveling performance.

2. For Oil drilling: It can improve mud carrying capacity during drilling, and prevent a large amount of water from entering the oil layer from the mud, and stabilize the oil layer production capacity.

3. For building construction and building materials: HEC is an effective thickener and binder for cement slurry and mortar. It can improve the fluidity and construction performance of the mortar, and prolong the water evaporation time, and increase the initial cracks of the concrete. It used for painting gypsum, bonding gypsum, gypsum putty can significantly improve its water retention and bonding strength.

4. For toothpaste: HEC can guarantee the stability of toothpaste paste due to its strong salt resistance and acid resistance. In addition, the toothpaste is not easy to dry due to its high water retention and emulsifying ability.

5. For water-based ink, HEC Cellulose can make the ink dry quickly and not penetrate.

6.HEC is widely used in textile printing and dyeing, paper making, and daily chemicals.
