Methyl Hydroxyethyl Cellulose MHEC

Methyl Hydroxyethyl Cellulose MHEC

Cellulose ethers are an important class of commercial water-soluble polymers used in construction and construction industries. Cellulose ethers can increase the viscosity of aqueous media. The viscosity-increasing ability of cellulose ether is mainly controlled by its molecular weight, the chemical substituents attached to it, and the conformational characteristics of the polymer chain. Methyl cellulose MC, methyl hydroxyethyl cellulose MHEC, ethyl hydroxyethyl cellulose EHEC, methyl hydroxypropyl cellulose MHPC, hydroxyethyl cellulose HEC, Hydrophobically modified hydroxyethyl cellulose HMHEC alone or in combination is the most widely used cellulose ether in mortar formulations.

The most important properties of cellulose ether polymers include:

Good thickening / thickening efficiency

Available in a wide range of molecular weight and viscosity

Excellent properties as a water-retaining agent

Excellent resistance to dissolved inorganic salts

Excellent solution clarity

Low toxicity and environmental protection
