LEAD®MHEC/HEMC
Methyl hydroxyethyl cellulose
Thickening
Suspension
Hydroxyethyl methylcellulose can prevent solid particles from settling out because it can inhibit the formation of sediment.
The hydroxyethylmethylcellulose aqueous solution system has thickening properties, and the thickening is related to the viscosity of the product used and the type of compound.
Water retention
MHEC product can retain moisture after absorbing water on the porous surface.
MHEC is the abbreviation of methylhydroxyethylcellulose, also known as HEMC. In the building materials system, it plays the role of thickening, retaining water, and improving workability. It also has a high gel temperature.
Hydroxyethyl methylcellulose can prevent small particles and particles from clumping.
