Choosing the Right Adhesive for Your Tile Installation Needs and Ensuring Long-lasting Results
2. Stabilizer: Like other cellulose ethers, MHEC acts as a stabilizer in emulsions and suspensions, preventing the separation of different components.
Methyl Hydroxyethyl Cellulose is a cellulose derivative that is synthesized through the controlled modification of natural Cellulose ether. This results in a compound with exceptional properties, including solubility in both cold and hot water, high viscosity, and excellent film-forming abilities. The controlled methylation and hydroxyethylation processes lead to a compound with tailorable characteristics, making it a valuable asset in a wide range of applications.
The gel temperature of MHEC is higher, generally the gel temperature can reach about 78-85 ℃; while the gel temperature of HPMC is generally about 60-75 ℃, so HPMC is not as effective as MHEC in high temperature resistance. This is the main reason why many customers in hot areas choose MHEC.
