Hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) is a premium non-ionic cellulose ether widely utilized across various industrial sectors. Serving as a versatile dispersant, thickener, emulsifier, and stabilizer, HEC is essential for optimizing the rheological properties of architectural paints, industrial coatings, drilling fluids, and textile pulp formation.
Our high-purity HEC is engineered for superior solubility in both hot and cold water, ensuring a clear, stable solution with peak viscosity reached within 60 minutes. With a broad viscosity range from 400 to 100,000 mPa.s, it provides precise control for diverse manufacturing applications, ensuring consistent performance and stability over long-term storage.

Purity can be verified via density (higher purity equals higher weight for the same volume) and fluidity (purer powder flows more smoothly when rolled in a glass jar).
HEC is primarily used in architectural paints, industrial coatings, oil drilling fracking fluids, and as a pulp formation agent in textile manufacturing.
When thoroughly dissolved, our HEC typically reaches its peak viscosity within 30 to 60 minutes at room temperature.
