HEC | Hydroxyethylcellulose
CELOCELL™ HEC is a nonionic cellulose derivative that dissolves readily in water, either cold or hot. It is used to produce solutions having a wide range of viscosity. Such solutions are pseudoplastic, that is, they vary in viscosity depending upon the amount of stress applied.
CELOCELL™ HEC as a thickener, protective colloid, binder, stabilizer and suspending agent in a variety of industrial
applications, such as water-based paints, adhesives, emulsion polymers, toothpaste, cosmetics and building products.
