Kemox - Model HEC -Hydroxyethyl Cellulose
Hydroxymethyl 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. Kemox 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, and personal care.
Kemox HEC KE100K and KE60K offer good properties of water retention, thickening, suspension, resistance to fungal attack and chemical resistance.
Thickening and stabilizing properties
Increases the viscosity and stability of liquids and gels.
Water retention
With the ability to absorb and retain moisture, it is useful in products that require long-term moisture retention.
Film-forming properties
A film can be formed on the surface of the product, which provides a barrier against external factors such as humidity, heat and UV rays.
Compatibility with other ingredients
It is compatible with a wide range of other ingredients, which makes it a versatile additive for many industries. It can be used in combination with other polymers and surfactants.
