Hydroxyethyl Methyl Cellulose (HEMC)
CAS:9032-42-2
Hydroxyethyl Methyl Cellulose (HEMC) is also named as Methyl Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (MHEC),used as high efficient water retention agent, stabilizer, adhesives and film-forming agent in kinds of building materials.is widely used in industrial applications ,such as construction, detergent ,paint and coating ,we also can provide HEMC according to customers requirements. After modified and surface treatment, we can get the goods which is dispersed in water quickly, lengthen open time, anti-sagging, etc.
