Exploring the Properties and Applications of Ether Cellulos in Modern Materials
● Excellent properties as a water-retaining agent
In the construction business, Methyl Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (MHEC) is an essential ingredient, especially when making building products like cement renders, tile adhesives, and mortar. It is a derivative of cellulose ether that is created by chemically modifying cellulose, a naturally occurring polymer derived from sustainable sources include cotton and wood pulp. A number of advantageous characteristics of MHEC include its ability to thicken, retain water, bind, and form films.
Chemical properties
Hydroxyethyl Methyl Cellulose MHEC is also known as Methyl Hydroxyethyl Cellulose HEMC, Methyl Hydroxyethyl Cellulose ,which can be used as high efficient water retention agent, stabilizer, adhesives and film-forming agent in construction, tile adhesives,cement and gypsum based plasters,liquid detergent ,and many other applications.
