Hydroxyethyl Cellulose can be dissolved in hot or cold water. After adding hydroxyethyl cellulose, continuous stirring must be carried out until the solution is completely transparent and clear. It must be slowly sieved into the mixing bucket. Do not add large quantities of hydroxyethyl cellulose or directly add it into the mixing bucket that has formed lumps and balls. Water temperature and pH value in water have a significant relationship with the dissolution of hydroxyethyl cellulose, which requires special attention.
Due to its non-toxic biological characteristics, hydroxyethyl cellulose is considered safe for use in paint & coatings and oil drilling fluids. Our HEC product is certified by EU REACH, ensuring they are safe for consumers and the environment. You may contact us for further safety data and reports.
The excellent thickening, water retention, and film-forming properties of Hydroxyethyl cellulose powders make them useful in various applications, especially for emulsion paint, waterborne coatings, pharmaceutical excipients, and textiles.
