Exploring Innovative Additives for Enhanced Coating Performance and Durability
The working mechanism of MHEC as water retention agent in cement relies on two separate effects: first, its water sorption capacity and second the formation of hydrocolloidal associated 3D polymer networks. At low MHEC concentrations (≤ 6 g/L which corresponds to a dosage of 0.32% bwoc), water sorption presents the main mechanism for water retention while above this concentration, the first mechanism is supplemented by the formation of associated polymer networks which are highly effective in
Furthermore, MHEC is compatible with a wide range of other ingredients commonly used in personal care products. It can be easily incorporated into formulations without affecting the stability or efficacy of the final product. This makes it a popular choice among formulators, as it allows for greater flexibility and creativity in product development.
