ETHER;Hydroxy Ethyl Methyl Cellulose; METHYL HYDROXY ETHYL CELLULOSE,Cellulose ether; HEMC
Physical properties
1. Appearance: HEMC is white or almost white fibrous or granular powder; odorless.
2. Solubility: The HEMC can dissolve in cold water .
3. Apparent density: 0.30-0.60g/m3.
4. MHEC has the characteristics of thickening, suspension, dispersion, adhesion, emulsification, film formation, and water retention.Its water retention is stronger than that of methyl cellulose, and its viscosity stability, anti-fungal and dispersibility are stronger.
Methyl Hydroxyethyl Cellulose(MHEC) is non-ionic high molecular polymer, it is white or almost white powder. It is soluble in cold water but insoluble in hot water. The solution exhibits strong pseudoplasticity and provides higher shear. Viscosity. HEMC is mainly used as an adhesive, protective colloid, thickener and stabilizer, and emulsifying additive.
Methyl Hydroxyethyl Cellulose(MHEC) is widely used in water-based latex coatings, building construction and building materials,printing inks, oil diling, etc., to thicken and retain water, improve workability, and be used in dry and wet mortar products.
Methyl Hydroxyethyl Cellulose(MHEC) is also known as HEMC, Methyl Hydroxyethyl Cellulose ,which can be used as high eficient water retention agent, stabilizer, adhesives and film-forming agent in construction, tile adhesives,cement and gypsum based plaster,liquid detergent ,and many other applications.
