Exploring the Role of Cement Thickener in Construction and Material Performance
Properties of MHEC Methyl Hydroxyethyl Cellulose
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.
7. Some factories and households use a small amount of C cellulose mixed into hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose ether, and when the aqueous solution of C cellulose meets with tin, silver, aluminum, lead, iron, copper and some heavy metals, precipitation reaction will occur; When c-cellulose aqueous solution coexists with calcium, magnesium and salt, it will not produce precipitation, but will reduce the viscosity of c-cellulose aqueous solution.
