1)Brief Introduction：  

HEC (Hydroxy Ethyl Cellulose) is non-ionic cellulose ether, easily dispersed and dissolved in water. It provides thickening, colloid protection, construction property improvement, wetting and stability to final product to ensure high quality. It has high and even degree of substitution and excellent bio-stability, thus can be widely used in stone-like paints, latex paints, oil-drilling additives, detergent, toothpaste and etc.

2)Application

Paints & Coating Grade HEC

HEC provides excellent thickening efficiency, color development, open time, and superior resistance to biodegradation. It also plays a role in the emulsion, dispersion, stability and water retention. The coating has good rheological properties at different shear rates, and has good workability and leveling performance, good splash and sag resistance.

Oil-drilling Grade HEC

HEC is mainly used as viscosifier and fluid loss agent in oil drilling industry. High-viscosity HEC is mainly used as viscosifier in well-completing or finishing fluid; while low-viscosity HEC is mainly used as fluid loss agent.
