We are committed to delivering high-quality Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (HEC) tailored for optimal performance in the coatings and paints industry. HEC, a versatile non-ionic cellulose ether, plays a critical role in enhancing the physical properties, application behavior, and durability of water-based paint formulations. Our HEC products offer superior rheological control, excellent water retention, and increased stability, meeting the demanding needs of modern coating applications.
Hydroxyethyl Cellulose acts as a highly effective thickening agent, providing precise control over the viscosity of water-based paints. This ensures a consistent and stable texture, enabling smooth application, improved leveling, and enhanced surface finish. By preventing excessive sagging or dripping, HEC helps maintain the integrity of the paint during and after application, particularly on vertical surfaces.
One of the defining features of HEC is its ability to modify the rheology of paint formulations. It enhances the flow and workability of the paint, offering better brushability and roller performance. The rheological properties also ensure that the paint spreads evenly, minimizing spattering and delivering superior coverage.
Hydroxyethyl Cellulose exhibits excellent water retention capabilities, which are crucial in extending the open time during paint application. This property prevents premature drying, allowing for a more even application and facilitating the formation of a consistent, defect-free film. This is particularly important in ensuring optimal adhesion to the substrate and in reducing streaks or lap marks.
In paint formulations, HEC effectively suspends pigments, fillers, and other additives, ensuring uniform dispersion and preventing sedimentation. This results in improved color consistency, stability, and long-term shelf life, which are essential for maintaining the quality and performance of the paint throughout its usage period.
HEC promotes the formation of a continuous and robust film, enhancing the durability of the paint or coating. It contributes to the development of a strong, protective layer that resists cracking, peeling, and environmental degradation. This makes it particularly valuable in both interior and exterior applications where long-term performance and weather resistance are required.
Hydroxyethyl Cellulose is highly compatible with a wide range of binders, pigments, and other additives used in modern paint systems. Its non-ionic nature allows for seamless integration into complex formulations, ensuring stability and optimal performance across diverse applications.

The typical dosage of HPMC for ceramic tile adhesives ranges from 0.2% to 0.6% of the total dry mix weight. The exact amount depends on the specific formulation and desired properties of the adhesive, such as its viscosity and setting time.
HPMC should be added gradually to the adhesive mix during the dry mixing process. It is essential to ensure even dispersion to achieve consistent performance. Once fully mixed, water is added to the dry mix, and the adhesive is blended until a smooth, homogenous paste is formed.
HPMC helps maintain adequate moisture in the adhesive, which can extend the curing time slightly compared to adhesives without HPMC. However, this extended curing time allows for better hydration of the cement particles, enhancing the overall bond strength and durability of the adhesive.
In high-temperature environments, HPMC helps retain moisture in the adhesive, preventing rapid drying and cracking. This moisture retention ensures that the adhesive maintains its workability and bonding strength, even under extreme heat, leading to a more reliable and long-lasting tile installation.
Yes, HPMC can be used in combination with other additives, such as defoamers, dispersants, and retarders, to enhance specific properties of the tile adhesive. However, it is essential to test the compatibility of all additives in the formulation to ensure optimal performance.
