MelaColl Hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) is a nonionic, water-soluble polymer that consists of two components: cellulose and hydroxyethyl side chain. The manufacturing process is as follows: the purified cellulose is reacted with sodium hydroxide to form swollen alkaline cellulose, and then it is reacted with ethylene oxide to create a series of Hydroxyethylcellulose ethers.
Our HEC products have many properties, such as water retention, thickening, suspension, anti-microbial erosion, high salt tolerance, and ion/PH insensitive. They have been applied in various industries, including paints and coatings, oil drilling, adhesives and sealants, ceramic, metal castings, personal care, pharmaceuticals, and paper industry.
