Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (HEC)
CAS:9004-62-0
It is used to produce solutions having a wide range of viscosity. Such solutions has typical Non-Newtonian flow characteristic. Haocell® HEC has unique combination of water. Water solution is smooth , homogenous solution , and good flow and leveling.
It has excellent water retention, film-forming, salt tolerance, and thickening functions in different applications.It possess excellent color compatibility, making it the ideal additive for latex paint applications.
