2. What are the main applications of Methyl Hydroxyethyl Cellulose?
Methyl Hydroxyethyl Cellulose is primarily used in construction materials such as paints, adhesives, and cement-based products to improve their viscosity, water retention, and workability. It is also utilized in pharmaceutical formulations, as well as in personal care products like shampoos and cosmetics.
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.
Masonry mortar:
Due to its high degree of methoxylation, MHEC is the only cellulose derivative with the best water retention, which is the only reason why MHEC is sold for use in cement-based wall putties and mortars. MHEC is also used in cement-based tile adhesives and grouts.
various forums, seminars, and business negotiation activities will be held to provide opportunities for communication and cooperation between exhibitors and buyers.
