Thickening Agent CAS 9004-62-0 Bulk Pure Natrosol Hydroxyethyl Cellulose HEC Powder

HEC is a white or yellowish mobile powder. 40 screen pass rate:≥99%. Intenerating point:135140. Vision density:0.350.61lg/ml.
Dispersing point:205210.Average moisture:6% at 23 84%rh. It can dissolve in other cool or hot water. .Normal it does not dissolve
in organic solvents. Viscosity change is small when PH is within 2-12 but decrease when PH low than the range.

Hydroxyethyl Cellulose  is a non-ionic, water-soluble polymer derived from cellulose through a series of chemical and physical processes. 

Hydroxyethyl Cellulose  is a white to light yellowish, oderless and tastless powder, readily soluble in hot or cold water to form a viscous gel solution. When pH in solution is within 2 to 12, the solution is quite stable. 

Hydroxyethyl Cellulose group is nonionic one in water solution, it won't be reacted with other anions or cations and insensitive to the salts. But HEC molecule is capable of generating esterification, etherification and acetal reaction, so it is possible to make it insoluble in water or improve its properties. HEC also has good film-forming ability and surface activity.

Function of Thickening Agent CAS 9004-62-0 Bulk Pure Natrosol Hydroxyethyl Cellulose HEC Powder
1. Hydroxyethyl Cellulose : Generally used as thickeners, protective agents, adhesives, stabilizers and additives for the preparation of emulsions, gels, ointments, lotions, eye drops, suppositories and tablets, also used as a hydrophilic gel, skeleton The material and the preparation of the skeleton type sustained-release preparation can also be used as a stabilizer for foods.

2.Hydroxyethyl Cellulose : Adhesives for thickening, thickening, emulsifying and stabilizing in the sizing agent, electronics and light industry sectors of the textile industry.

3.Hydroxyethyl Cellulose : It is used as a thickener and fluid loss additive for water-based drilling fluids and completion fluids, and has a thickening effect in brine drilling fluids. It can also be used as a fluid loss additive for oil well cement. It can be crosslinked with polyvalent metal ions to form a gel.

4.Hydroxyethyl Cellulose : This product is used in the fracturing method to extract petroleum water-based gel fracturing fluid, polystyrene and polyvinyl chloride and other polymeric dispersing agents. It can also be used as a latex polymer thickener in the paint industry, a moisture sensitive resistor in the electronics industry, a cement retarder and a moisture retaining agent in the construction industry. Ceramic industry glazing and toothpaste adhesives. Also widely used in printing and dyeing, textile, paper, medicine, health, food, cigarettes, pesticides and fire extinguishing agents.

5.Hydroxyethyl Cellulose : as a surfactant, colloidal protective agent, emulsion stabilizer for the combination of vinyl chloride, vinyl acetate and other emulsions, as well as tackifiers, dispersants, dispersion stabilizers of latex. Widely used in coatings, fiber, dyeing, paper, cosmetics, medicine, pesticides, etc. There are also many uses in the oil extraction and machinery industries.

6.Hydroxyethyl Cellulose : Hydroxyethyl cellulose has surface activity, thickening, suspension, adhesion, emulsification, film formation, dispersion, water retention and protection in pharmaceutical solid and liquid preparations.

7.Hydroxyethyl Cellulose : A dispersing agent for the polymerization of petroleum water-based gel fracturing fluid, polyvinyl chloride and polystyrene. It can also be used as a latex thickener in the paint industry, as a cement retarder and moisture retainer in the construction industry, as a glazing agent in the ceramic industry and as a toothpaste adhesive. Also widely used in printing and dyeing, textile, paper, medicine, health, food, cigarettes and pesticides and other industrial fields.        

Application of Thickening Agent CAS 9004-62-0 Bulk Pure Natrosol Hydroxyethyl Cellulose HEC Powder
1, Hec commonly used as a thickening agent, protective agent, adhesive, stabilizer and preparation of emulsion, gel, ointment, lotion, eye cleaning agent, suppository and  additive, also used as a hydrophilic gel skeleton material, and preparation of sustained-release preparations, can also be used as stable agent and so on food.

2, Hec used in the textile industry sizing agent, electronic and Light Industry Department of bonding, thickening, emulsification, stability and other additives.

3, Hec used as water base drilling fluid and completion fluid thickener and filtrate loss agent, in brine drilling fluid thickening effect is obvious. It can also be used as filtrate reducer for oil well cement. Crosslinked with polyvalent metal ions.

4, Hec as surfactant, colloid protective agent, vinyl chloride, vinyl acetate emulsion and other emulsion stabilizer, as well as the viscosity of the emulsion, dispersant, dispersion stabilizer, etc.. Widely used in coatings, fiber, dyeing, paper making, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, pesticides and other aspects. There is also a lot of use in the oil and machinery industries.
