Methyl 2-hydroxyethyl Cellulose (HEMC), identified by CAS 9032-42-2, is a highly adaptable cellulose ether whose performance characteristics are significantly influenced by its viscosity. As a leading manufacturer and supplier of HEMC in China, we offer a comprehensive range of viscosity grades, catering to diverse industrial needs from thin liquid formulations to highly viscous pastes.

The viscosity of HEMC is typically measured as a solution concentration (e.g., 2% in water at 20°C). Common grades range from low viscosities (e.g., 150-450 mPa.s) to very high viscosities (e.g., 45,000-55,000 mPa.s). Lower viscosity grades are ideal for applications where moderate thickening is required, such as in certain coatings or cleaning products, improving spreadability without excessive viscosity build-up. Procurement managers seeking to buy HEMC for these applications can specify their viscosity requirements for tailored solutions.

Higher viscosity grades of HEMC are essential for applications demanding significant thickening, suspension, or gelling capabilities. These include pharmaceutical sustained-release formulations, high-performance construction mortars, and specialized cosmetic products. For instance, a grade with a viscosity of 5000-7000 mPa.s might be chosen for a high-viscosity paint, while a much higher grade would be needed for a thickener in a medical hydrogel. Our expertise as an HEMC supplier allows us to guide you in selecting the most appropriate grade based on your specific application's rheological demands.

Selecting the correct viscosity grade is paramount for achieving optimal product performance and cost-effectiveness. As a reputable HEMC manufacturer, we provide detailed specifications for each grade, enabling informed decisions. Whether you require HEMC for construction, pharmaceuticals, food, or daily chemicals, understanding these viscosity differences is key.
