High-Performance HPMC for Industrial Applications and Its Benefits in Construction and Coatings
Properties of MHEC Methyl Hydroxyethyl Cellulose
Methyl Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (MHEC) exhibits remarkable solubility in water across various temperatures, making it an ideal candidate for applications that require consistent viscosity and dispersion properties. Its stability in different environments ensures that the desired functionalities are retained, contributing to the reliability of end products.
In practical construction, in the hot construction environment in summer, the water holding capacity of MHEC with the same viscosity and dosage is better than that of HPMC. Especially in the Southeast Asian countries and India, mortar will sometimes be constructed at high temperature. Cellulose ether with low gel temperature will lose its thickening and water retention at high temperature, thereby accelerating the hardening of mortar, and affects the construction.
