化学塗料の特性と用途についてのガイドライン
Methyl Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (MHEC) is a white, yellow-white, or off-white powder or granule that is hygroscopic when dried and dissolves in water to form a clear solution with a specific viscosity. MHEC has good stability even in alkaline environments and is also stable in hot environments.
Alone or in combination, methylhydroxyethyl cellulose (MHEC) is the most widely used cellulose in mortar formulations. MHEC has a wide range of properties such as thickening, emulsifying, binding, molding, colloid protection, and water retention.
Methylcellulose is commonly used as an ingredient in the production of commercially-made ice cream due to its ability to stabilize the product. It serves as an alternative to gelatin and vegetable gum such as guar gum and locust bean gum. The chemical compound is also added to baked goods, salad dressings, and salad gums. It helps prevent sugar crystallization and increases the shelf life of food products by controlling moisture content.
