Exploring the Applications and Safety of Substance with CAS Number 209004-65-3 in Various Industries
Cellulose ether plays an important role in mortar in three aspects: first, it has excellent water retention capacity, second, it has an impact on mortar consistency and thixotropy, and third, it interacts with cement.
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.
Protection from water exudation and material sedimentation.
No effect on slurry fluidity with low viscosity
HPMC, while its water retention characteristics improve the finish performance on the surface.
