One of the key properties of MHEC is its thickening ability. It can increase the viscosity of a product, giving it a more luxurious and creamy texture. This is particularly beneficial in products such as shampoos and conditioners, where a thicker consistency is desired. The thickening effect of MHEC also helps to improve the stability of emulsions, preventing them from separating over time.
The chemical structure of MHEC mirrors that of HPMC. It encompasses hydroxyethyl groups linked to the hydroxyl groups within cellulose. The degree of substitution (DS) governs the quantity of hydroxyethyl groups incorporated, influencing MHEC's solubility, viscosity, and other intrinsic traits. MHEC remains stable under standard conditions and exhibits resistance to microbial degradation.
