HEC/Hydroxy Ethyl Cellulose/for latex paint as paint thickener hydroxyethyl cellulose (hec)
Hec(Hydroxyethyl Cellulose) is a nonionic water-soluble polymer from natural cellulose. It is easily dissolved in cold and hot water. It offers thickening,stabilizing,binding,emulsifying,fifilm-forming,water-maintaining,protective colloids,surface activity. It is widely used for paints, emulsions, oil drilling, construction fifield, personal care products, detergent and other different applications and industries.
Hec products are water-soluble, non-ionic polymers that can be used in a variety of personal and home care applications,
and many different coatings. Hec has excellent thickening, suspending, binding, emulsifying, film-forming, dispersing,
water retention ability. These efficient thickeners perform across a wide pH range and demonstrate high salt tolerance and broad
surfactant compatibility. HEC disperses quickly and thoroughly in any water-based medium, even under low shear conditions.

PAINTS & EMULSIONS
HEC is widely used in avariety of water based paints andEmulsions
Used as a thickening andsuspending agent, and stabilizer, itcan improve expected performancefor paints, colored pigments,emulsions, defamers, andpreservatives.
The solutions thickened with HEC are of high rheological prosperityand pseudo-Plasticity undervarious shearing rates, goodworkability and levelingperformance
OIL DRILLING
In oil drilling industry, high viscosityHEC is used as a viscosififier inwel/ completing or fifinishing flfluid;Low viscosity HEC is used as awater loss controller.In drillingHEC can increase the sandcarrying capability of the slurry andextend the service life of drill bits.
DETERGENTS
HEC can be used as athickening agent, rheologycontroller, dispersing agent andemulsififier for personal careproducts such as shampooslotions, and pastes. It can be alsoused for detergent products suchas washing powder, pastes, soapsand emulsions
CONSTRUCTION
In construction applications HEC can improveworkability, water retention, andstability and increase thickeningproperties for Joint compounds.plasters,wall-putty, tile adhesiveand self-leveling compound.
EXCELLENT WHITENESS
It has good performance in varioussolvents and water systems
