Product Description
Hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) solute-ion-dissolving material derived from cellulose. One major function of HEC in latex paints is thickening effect. HEC also helps to eliminate sagging during painting by providing the thickening effect. Providing a quick and effective dissolving property is another function of Hydroxyethyl cellulose. HEC provides resistance against fungi and bacteral attacks, which allows its excellent viscosity, stability, and long-term storage. It is suitable for latex paint, oil drilling, adhesives, cosmetic and personal care.
