Modified hydroxyethyl cellulose

 Product Model 

 Product Features 

1. Efficient thickening ability

Modified hydroxyethyl cellulose not only has good viscosity performance in aqueous solution, but also shows efficient thickening effect when used in coatings, which can appropriately reduce the amount of cellulose ether and provide economic efficiency of the formula.

2. Good anti-mildew stability

Modified hydroxyethyl cellulose adopts a special production process, which can effectively resist the erosion of biological molds, prevent the degradation of cellulose ether, and maintain the viscosity stability of the coating.

3. Good alkali resistance

Modified hydroxyethyl cellulose adopts a special production process, which can make the coating adapt well in alkaline environment, ensuring that the cellulose ether still has high water retention and thickening effect in strong alkali system coatings.

4. Excellent dispersibility

Modified hydroxyethyl cellulose can be evenly distributed in water-based coatings without clumping or agglomeration.

5. Good storage stability

Modified hydroxyethyl cellulose is used in coating production. It has high thickening efficiency and also makes the finished coating have good storage stability.

 Latex paint 

——

Hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) is mainly used as a thickener, suspension stabilizer and construction aid in latex paint. It has become a key additive to balance cost and performance by adjusting rheology, enhancing storage stability, improving film quality and environmental performance. Its coordinated use with various thickeners can meet the diversified requirements of different formulations for construction properties, paint film effects and durability.

Recommended application scenarios:  

1. Interior wall latex paint: focus on environmental protection, anti-settling and construction leveling. 

2. Low-cost engineering paint: rely on the economy of HEC to achieve basic thickening needs. 

3. High PVC (pigment volume concentration) paint: strong suspension ability is required to prevent filler sedimentation. 

4. Matt paint: avoid excessive thickener affecting the dispersion of matting powder.

 Real stone paint 

————

Hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) is a key additive in the formula of real stone paint. By comprehensively regulating viscosity, water retention, adhesion and weather resistance, it ensures that the product performs well during storage, construction and use. It is especially suitable for exterior wall decoration with high requirements for texture, strength and durability. By reasonably selecting HEC models (such as viscosity, substitution degree) and addition amounts, the construction tolerance and coating durability of real stone paint can be significantly improved, while reducing the raw material cost by about 5-8%. In practical applications, the rheological properties of the dynamic control system need to be tested by a rotational viscometer and an outflow cup.

 Water-based coatings 

——————  

Hydroxyethyl cellulose is a non-ionic soluble cellulose ether that can be used in a wide pH range and has good compatibility with other components (such as pigments, additives, fillers, and salts). Hydroxyethyl cellulose plays an emulsifying, dispersing, stabilizing, and water-retaining role in water-based coatings. Its characteristics are to increase the viscosity and consistency of water-based coatings, improve the rheological properties of coatings, improve the adhesion and uniformity of water-based coatings, make the coating smoother and smoother, and improve the color development, film-forming properties, and storage stability of water-based coatings.
