Portuguese Hydroxyethyl Cellulose - HEC
Hydroxyethyl Cellulose - HEC
Hydroxyethyl cellulose is a white flowable powder. It is a non-ionic cellulose ether made from natural polymer cellulose through a series of etherification reactions. It can be dissolved in cold water to form a transparent viscous solution, and its solubility is not affected by pH value.

Benefits of HEC Specifications
- It is soluble in hot or cold water and will not precipitate when heated or boiled.
- Wide range of solubility and viscosity characteristics, and non-thermal gelation.
- The water retention capacity is twice that of HPMC and it has better flow adjustability.
- HEC has high thickening effect, storage stability and excellent rheological properties.
HEC is generally used as a thickener, protective agent, binder, stabilizer and additive for preparing emulsions, gels, ointments, lotions, eye washes, suppositories and tablets. It is also used as a hydrophilic gel and framework material for preparing sustained-release preparations with a framework structure. It can also be used as a stabilizer in food.
Paints & Coatings
Hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) has an excellent thickening effect and is a key additive in these paint formulations.
Oil Drilling Solutions
HEC is used as a viscosity enhancer and fluid stabilizer in oil drilling to improve the sand carrying and lubrication properties of drilling fluids.
Personal Care&Home Care
Detergent-grade HEC offers reliable viscosity stability in all types of surfactant systems.
