China MHEC Manufacturer

China MHEC Manufacturer

MHEC (Methyl Hydroxyethyl Cellulose) is produced via etherification of refined cellulose with methyl and hydroxyethyl groups. Upon mixing with water, it dissolves to form a viscous colloidal solution, thereby improving water retention, trowelability, and open time of tile adhesive formulations.

Accurate is a professional MHEC manufacturer. We offer standard and customized grades for both interior and exterior tile adhesives.

MHEC Supplier with Good Reputation

Landercoll® has been a trusted name in cellulose ether manufacturing for years, backed by three production bases equipped with state-of-the-art facilities. Our manufacturing process features 16 horizontal reactors and 4 vertical reactors ensuring high-capacity, consistent output, alongside a DCS (Distributed Control System) for fully automated production and an SIS (Safety Instrumented System) for real-time process safety.

MHEC Manufacturing & Purification Process

Raw Material Selection: We begin with high-purity refined cotton linter, characterized by low ash and negligible impurities.

Etherification: The cellulose is alkalized under precisely controlled conditions, followed by etherification to introduce methoxyl and hydroxypropyl groups.

Purification: The crude product undergoes successive washing and filtration stages to remove by‑products and residual salts, achieving exceptional purity suitable for demanding applications.
