Cellulose-Based Paint Thickener for Enhanced Viscosity and Consistency in Coatings
Due to its high degree of methoxylation, MHEC is the only cellulose derivative with the best water retention, which is the only reason why MHEC is sold for use in cement-based wall putties and mortars. MHEC is also used in cement-based tile adhesives and grouts.
In the food and beverage industry, MHEC finds its way into applications that require emulsification, thickening, and stabilization. It is often utilized in products such as dairy items, sauces, and dressings, contributing to improved texture and shelf life.
