Hydroxyethyl Methyl Cellulose (HEMC) is another name for MHEC, or Methyl Hydroxy Ethyl Cellulose. It is a natural high polymer cellulose-based non-ionic cellulose ether. Many of its benefits, such as efficient thickening and moisture retention, are shared with other methyl cellulose derivatives.
Methyl hydroxyethyl cellulose (MHEC) is a substance that is frequently used to thicken printing inks, maintain the water content of aqueous coatings and varnishes, regulate the rheology and consistency of waterborne coatings, stabilize pigments, and thicken textile coatings. It can be utilized as a binder, stabilizer, suspending agent, and protective colloids. has excellent temperature stability and is compatible with a wide range of substances, including polymers and surfactants like CMC, starch ether, guar gum, and alginates. Additionally used to regulate interior and exterior flat emulsion paint consistency, flow, leveling, high shear viscosity, and storage stability. The delayed solubility of methyl hydroxy ethyl cellulose (MHEC) is another possibility.
Different building materials can employ MHEC Methyl Hydroxy Ethyl Cellulose:
concrete mortar
Joint compound
Self-leveling substance
wall insulation outside
Plaster made of gypsum
Extrusion of ceramic
Paints
