Products

Hydroxyethyl cellulose(HEC):

Brief Intro.

Hydroxyethyl Cellulose is non-ionic water-soluble polymer; it is effective in thickening, bonding, emulsifying, dispersing, stabilizing and water preserving in such industries like architectural coating, petroleum and daily-use chemicals. Hydroxyethyl cellulose is very easily soluble not only in cold water, but also in hot water, and can provide solutions with wider range of viscosity.

 

Properties

Hydroxyethyl Cellulose is made from natural polymer cellulose, it is white to yellowish, odorless and tasteless powdered solid.

Structural Formula

 

n=degree of polymerization, R=-H or (CH2-CH2-O)xH

 

Technical Specifications(Table 1)

Item	Details
