FAQS on hec cas

Q: What is the CAS number for HEC?

A: The CAS number for Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (HEC) is 9004-62-0. This unique identifier helps in precise chemical classification and regulatory compliance.

Q: What are the primary uses of HEC chemical in industries?

A: HEC is widely used as a thickener, stabilizer, and water-retention agent in paints, cosmetics, and construction materials due to its non-ionic and soluble properties.

Q: Why is HEC a preferred thickener in paint formulations?

A: HEC thickener enhances paint viscosity, improves application consistency, and prevents sagging while maintaining compatibility with other additives.

Q: How does HEC compare to other paint thickeners like cellulose ethers?

A: HEC offers superior pH stability, faster dissolution, and better clarity compared to alternatives like methyl cellulose, making it ideal for latex paints.

Q: Is HEC chemical safe for handling in industrial settings?

A: HEC is generally non-toxic and non-irritating, but proper PPE (gloves, goggles) should be used to avoid inhalation or prolonged skin contact during processing.
