Exploring Wall Putty RDP Powder for Enhanced Construction Performance and Durability
Another significant benefit of using MHEC in cement is its ability to reduce the risk of cracking. Cracks in cement structures can lead to significant structural damage and compromise the integrity of the entire construction. MHEC helps to minimize the formation of cracks by improving the overall cohesion and flexibility of the cement. This ensures that the cement can withstand external stresses, such as temperature changes and shrinkage, without cracking or breaking.
Although less common, MHEC is occasionally used in the food industry as a thickening agent and stabilizer in certain products such as sauces, desserts, and beverages.
Chemical properties
Generally speaking, the water retention of MHEC is higher than that of HPMC, but there is no big difference. Considering the cost and price, if there is not high requirements for the gel temperature, customers generally prefer HPMC. Furthermore, the viscosity stability, mildew resistance, and dispersibility of MHEC are generally higher than that of HPMC.
