HYDROXYETHYL METHYLCELLULOSE (HEMC)
Hydroxyethyl methyl cellulose (HEMC) is widely used in water-based latex coatings.construction and building materials, printing ink, oil drilling and other aspects, which plays athickening and water-retaining role and improves the constructability. lt is used in dry andwet mortar series products.
Features of HEMC
Hydroxyethyl Methylcellulose is a non-ionic, water-soluble polymer compounds, has a wide range of applications, the main role includes the following:
Stabilizer
As an emulsion stabilizer, HEMC is widely used in emulsion coatings, latex and other products to maintain the homogeneity of the product and prevent delamination and precipitation.
Water Retaining Agent
In construction materials, HEMC can improve the water retention of mortar, putty and other materials, preventing the water from evaporating too quickly, thus improving the construction performance and the strength of the materials.
Dispersing agent
HEMC can improve the dispersibility of pigments and fillers in water, prevent the materials from agglomeration, and enhance the dispersing performance of coatings and pastes.
Binder
In tile adhesive, putty powder and other products in the construction industry, HEMC can increase the bonding force of the material and enhance the construction performance.
Thickener
HEMC is commonly used in coatings, adhesives, construction materials and daily-use chemicals as a thickener to increase the viscosity and stability of products.
Film-forming agent
In coatings and adhesives, HEMC can form a uniform film and improve the mechanical properties and durability of the products.
Delayed solidification
In construction materials, HEMC can delay the solidification time of materials, providing longer operation time for construction.
