Description
Hydroxy Ethyl Cellulose (HEC) is a non-ionic, water-soluble cellulose ether sourced from natural fibers.HEC offers outstanding functions such as thickening, suspension stability, emulsion binding, water retention, anti-microbial action, and colloid protection.
It is commonly used to enhance abrasion resistance, improve enzyme stability, and extend product shelf life. Additionally, it boasts excellent moisture retention properties.
HEC appears as a white to slightly yellowish powder. HEC has a pH range of 5.0 to 9.0, with a moisture content of no more than 6.0%. With a particle size less than 90% its viscosity is around 4500 mPa’s.
Additionally, it is utilized in coatings and offers excellent microbial resistance. Due to its unique properties, it serves as a thickening agent and binder in liquid detergents.
Our Hydroxy Ethyl Cellulose (HEC) is used in various industries like cosmetics, petroleum, and mining industries. The HEC comes in 25 kg bags. This product should be stored in a dry place away from direct sunlight and in sealed packaging. HEC should be used within 12 months of delivery for best performance.
