CELLOSIZE hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) is a nonionic, water-soluble polymer that can thicken, suspend, bind, emulsify, form fi lms, stabilize, disperse, retain water, and provide protective colloid action. It is readily soluble in hot or cold water and can be used to prepare solutions with a wide range of viscosities. It has outstanding tolerance for dissolved electrolytes.
CELLOSIZE HEC offers narrow viscosity ranges, consistent viscosity reproducibility, and excellent solution clarities.
Hydroxyethyl Cellulose
ZONEHIBTM HEC is a natural polymer material cellulose as raw material, which reacts with sodium hydroxide to form basic cellulose colloid, and then the ethylene oxide and other chemicals are added into the reaction to get etherification. By controlling the production parameters, the Hydroxyethyl cellulose is produced.
It is a white or light yellow powder, non-toxic, tasteless, can be quickly dissolved into hot or cool water, insoluble in general organic solvent, with excellent character of thickening, dispersing, emulsifying, adhesion, stabilizing, water retention and film forming. Also can be used as a protective colloid in some products.
Paints & Coatings: HEC can be used in water-based coatings with excellent emulsification, dispersion speed, stability and water retention, which can help paints and coatings achieve better rheological properties at different shear rates, giving your products smooth leveling, good anti-flaking and anti-slip properties.
Daily Chemicals: HEC is an effective film former, binder, thickener, stabilizer and dispersant in shampoo, hair spray, neutralizer, conditioner and cosmetics. Its thickening and protective colloid properties can be used in liquid detergent and solid detergent industries.

Environmentally Friendly Materials: Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (HEC) is naturally degradable and environmentally friendly. It is safe to use with no irritation to human skin, though it's important to avoid inhalation of dust and direct contact with eyes. Due to its versatility and wide range of applications, HEC holds significant value in both industrial and everyday contexts.
Oil and Gas Exploration: Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (HEC) is a critical component used as a viscosity enhancer in drilling fluids, playing a vital role in oil and gas exploration.
Pharmaceuticals: Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (HEC) is used in pharmaceuticals as an adhesive, film coating, and in controlled release formulations.
Food: HEC plays an important role in the food industry as a thickener and stabilizer for various foods. It is commonly used in sauces, dressings, puddings and baked fillings to achieve the desired viscosity and texture.
Paper: HEC can be used as a glazing agent for paper and cardboard and a protective glue for ink. It has the advantage of not being affected by the size of the paper during printing and can print high-quality images. At the same time, due to its low surface permeability and high gloss, it can also reduce costs.

Hydroxyethyl Methyl Cellulose (MHEC) are water-soluble nonionic cellulose ethers, which are offered as free-flowing powder or in granular form cellulose.
Hydroxyethyl Methyl Cellulose(MHEC) is made from highly pure cotton-cellulose by reaction of etherification under alkaline conditions without any organs of animals, fat and other bioactive constituents. MHEC appears to be white powder and is odorless and tasteless. It is featured by hygroscopicity and hardly soluble in hot water, acetone, ethanol and toluene. In cold water MHEC will swell into colloidal solution and its solybility is not influenced by PH value. Similar to methyl cellulose while being added to Hdroxyethyl groups. MHEC is more resistant to saline, easily soluble in water and has higher gel temperature.
MHEC is also known as HEMC, Methyl Hydroxyethyl Cellulose ,which can be used as high efficient water retention agent, stabilizer, adhesives and film-forming agent in construction, tile adhesives, cement and gypsum based plasters, liquid detergent ,and many other applications.
