Products Specification
Product Description

HE Series, which is Hydroxyethyl Cellulose, is a white to off-white cellulose ether that is hot and cold water soluble, but have limited organic solubilities. It has excellent water retention, film-forming, salt tolerance, and thickening functions.

HE Series possesses excellent color compatibility, making it the ideal additive for latex paint applications.

In addition to latex paint formulations, HE Series products are also used in other industrial applications such as: oil field production, textile dyeing and printing, textile latex coatings, binders, adhesives, and etc.

CAS No.: 9004-62-0 Formula: C4H10O2S2 Molecular Weight: 154.25100

Description

Hydroxyethyl cellulose is a gelling and thickening agent derived from cellulose. It is widely used in cosmetics, cleaning solutions, and other household products. Hydroxyethyl cellulose and methyl cellulose are frequently used with hydrophobic drugs in capsule formulations, to improve the drugs' dissolution in the gastrointestinal fluids. This process is known as hydrophilization.
Hydroxyethyl cellulose is one of the main ingredients in the lubricant KY Jelly. It is also a key ingredient in the formation of big bubbles as it possesses the ability to dissolve in water but also provide structural strength to the soap bubble.
