hydroxyethylcellulose hec
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.
Excellent performance as a water retention agent
Good thickening/thickening efficiency
Wide range of molecular weights and viscosities are available
Excellent tolerance to dissolved inorganic salts
