Applications of HPMC in Construction and Its Benefits for Modern Building Projects
MHEC powder exhibits a fibrous appearance, presenting as a white to off-white, odorless powder. It possesses a notably high molecular weight and displays hygroscopic properties, readily absorbing water to form viscous solutions or gels. The solubility of MHEC varies contingent upon the degree of substitution (DS) and molecular weight.
