Hydroxyethyl Cellulose
Hydroxyethyl Cellulose,it’s a type of cellulose, which is a natural polymer derived from plant cell walls. Basically, it’s a modified version of cellulose that has been chemically altered to enhance its properties. The “hydroxyethyl” part comes from the addition of hydroxyethyl groups, which give this compound its unique characteristics.

Hydroxyethyl Cellulose
In the paint industry, provide the latex paint especially high PVA paints with excellent coating performance. When the paint is thick paste, no flocculation will occur. Hydroxyethyl Cellulose has higher thickening effects. It can reduce the dosage, improve the cost-effectiveness of formulation, and enhance the washing resistance of paints. Hydroxyethyl Cellulose is all treated by the delayed dissolution, and in the case of adding dry powder, can effectively prevent caking and make sure hydration starts after the adequate dispersion of Hydroxyethyl Cellulose powder.
