HYDROXYETHYLCELLULOSE (HEC) 100000

HYDROXYETHYLCELLULOSE (HEC) 100000 is a non-ionic, water-soluble cellulose ether derived from natural cellulose.
It appears as a white to off-white, free-flowing powder that dissolves in hot or cold water to form clear, viscous solutions.

APPLICATIONS:

1. COSMETICS & PERSONAL CARE:
    Hydroxyethylcellulose is widely used in shampoos, conditioners, body washes, facial cleansers, lotions, creams, and hair styling         gels. It functions as a thickener, emulsifier, and stabilizer, improving product texture, clarity, and spreadability. It also enhances       foam stability in cleansing products and provides a smooth, non-sticky skin feel in lotions and creams.

2. PAINTS & COATINGS:
    In the paints industry, HEC acts as a rheology modifier and thickener in water-based paints, latex paints, and coatings. It helps        control viscosity, improves flow and leveling, prevents pigment settling, and ensures uniform film formation. Its water-retention      property prevents premature drying during application, resulting in smoother finishes and better stability.
