Hydroxyethyl Methyl Cellulose(HEMC)

Product Description

GELITONTM HEMC SERIES is prepared by introducing ethylene oxide substituent (MS0.3~0.4) into MC, and has the characteristics of thickening, suspension, dispersion, adhesion, emulsification, film forming and water holding. Compared with Hydroxyethyl Methyl Cellulose, it has more strong hydrophilic groups, good thermal stability and good water retention. Moreover, the gel temperature is higher than that of HPMC cellulose ether. So it is more stable at high temperatures, and the viscosity stability, mildew resistance and dispersibility are better than HPMC cellulose. HEMC was widely used in construction and building materials, water-borne latex coatings, printing ink, oil drilling, and etc..
