HEC HS100000

Specification of HEC HS100000

Application of HEC HS100000

KimaCell® HEC HS100000 Hydroxyethyl cellulose ether products are often used as a thickener for latex paint preferred. The addition of HEC with appropriate specification and viscosity in latex paint can improve the construction performance of latex paint, prevent splashing, improve storage stability and hiding power.

The function of HEC as bellow :

• Flow properties and construction properties

  Latex paints produced with HEC HS100000 in many ways, especially in lightweight formulations with fixed pack volumes. The latex paint produced by HEC has good rheology at various shear rates, can be applied by brush or roller, has good workability, and can form a coating film with high wettability on a dry substrate.

  Adding HEC, the latex paint exhibits pseudoplastic thixotropy under the action of shear force. When the shear rate increases, the viscosity decreases and remains for a short time when the shear rate decreases.

• Thickening

  The latex paint thickened by HEC HS100000 can not only save the cost of raw materials, but also increase the water resistance and scrub resistance of the latex paint with the reduction of the amount of thickener.
