Exploring the Properties and Applications of Methyl Cellulose in Various Industries and Innovations
1. What is Methyl Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (MHEC)?
Methyl Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (MHEC) is a cellulose derivative that is commonly used as a thickening agent, binder, and film-former in various industries, including construction, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products.
Extends shelf life by preventing solids from settling. Excellent compatibility with other ingredients and high bio-stability.
Fast dissolving and mass-free, helping to simplify the mixing process. Cold water dispersion of the model product allows for quick and easy mixing without agglomeration.
Produces good flow characteristics including low splash and good leveling to ensure a good surface finish and prevent paint flow.
Increases the viscosity of waterborne paint strippers and organic solvents so that the paint stripper does not run off the surface of the workpiece.
