Key Advantages of Our Hydroxyethyl Cellulose

Optimized Rheology for Enhanced Application

Our HEC provides excellent pseudoplasticity, meaning it thins under shear (like during brushing) and thickens at rest, leading to reduced spattering and superior self-leveling properties for a flawless finish. Find a trusted HEC supplier in China for your next batch.

Superior Water Retention and Film Formation

Crucial for water-based coatings, our HEC ensures prolonged wet-edge time and excellent film formation, even on porous substrates. This leads to better adhesion and durability, making it a critical component for manufacturers.

Broad Compatibility and Stability

As a non-ionic polymer, our HEC exhibits outstanding compatibility with a wide range of other raw materials, including pigments, dispersants, and electrolytes, ensuring formulation stability and avoiding unwanted interactions. Buy HEC with confidence from NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD.
