Application
HEMC is more soluble in water, the solution is more compatible with salt, and has a higher coagulation temperature. It is widely used in water-based latex coatings, construction and building materials, printing inks, oil drilling, etc., to thicken and retain water, improve construction properties, and is used in dry and wet mortar series products. In pharmaceutical preparations, HEMC is also widely used as an excipient, such as oral tablets, suspensions, and topical preparations. In addition, it is also used in many fields such as food processing and daily chemical industry.
