Hydroxyethyl Cellulose * Metal Coatings

Metal coating is a common surface protection material that can effectively prevent metal products from oxidation, corrosion and wear. In the production process of metal coating, adding hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) can play a variety of roles.

1. Hydroxyethyl cellulose has excellent thickening properties, which can make the coating more dense and uniform. During construction, it can better adhere to the metal surface and is not prone to flow or dripping. At the same time, due to its good thickening properties, it can also increase the coating amount and coverage, thereby reducing the waste of raw materials.

2. Hydroxyethyl cellulose also has strong water retention properties, which can help adjust the film formation speed during the drying process and slow down the solvent evaporation rate. It can increase the construction operation time and improve the quality of the paint film.

3. Due to the characteristics of hydroxyethyl cellulose itself, such as colorless and odorless, chemically inert, acid and alkali resistant, it has no harm to the environment and human health during use, and will not affect the interaction between other formula ingredients.

4. Adding hydroxyethyl cellulose in the production of metal coatings can not only improve product quality, improve construction efficiency, and save raw materials; it also meets environmental protection requirements and ensures user safety.
