HPMC Benefits for Enhancing Shower Gel Formulations and Performance
One of the key advantages of MHEC over Hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) lies in its superior water retention, viscosity stability, mildew resistance, and dispersibility. MHEC demonstrates enhanced anti-sagging effects, allowing it to prevent material slumping or sagging during application. It also offers a longer open time, providing more flexibility for workability and adjustments. Additionally, MHEC exhibits high early strength and adapts well to high-temperature conditions. It is easy to mix and operate when added to dry mix mortars, simplifying the overall application process.
Hydroxyethyl Methyl Cellulose (MHEC) are water soluble nonionic cellulose ethers, which are offered as free flowing powder or in granular form cellulose.Hydroxyethyl Methyl Cellulose(MHEC) is made from highly pure cotton-cellulose by reaction of etherification under alkaline conditions without any organs of animals, fat and other bioactive constituents.MHEC appears to be white powder and is odorless and tasteless. It is featured by hygroscopicity and hardly soluble in hot water, acetone, ethanol and toluene. In cold water MHEC will swell into colloidal solution and its solybility is not influenced by PH value.Similar to methyl cellulose while being added to Hdroxyethyl groups. MHEC is more resistant to saline, easily soluble in water and has higher gel temperature.
