Hydroxyethyl Cellulose
HEC-NC30KH
NC30KH is one of the high-performance models in HEC. It has excellent thickening, stabilizing and suspending properties. Whether in the coating, textile printing and dyeing or papermaking industry, HEC NC30KH can provide stable and excellent performance.
It can improve the fluidity of the product, increase viscosity, avoid stratification, and make the pigment or filler more evenly dispersed in the system. This not only makes the coating easier to brush, the printing and dyeing more precise, but also makes the surface of the paper smoother.

Main Application Areas and Advantages of NC30KH

Interior and Exterior Latex Paint
- Improve brushing performance: Enhance the leveling of latex paint to avoid brush marks or sagging during the brushing process.
- Improve paint film performance: Significantly enhance the scrub resistance and weather resistance of the coating film to ensure long-term wall protection effect.
- Storage stability: Reduce the possibility of stratification and sedimentation, so that the paint remains uniform during storage.
- Prevent sedimentation: As a thickener and suspending agent, avoid pigment precipitation and ensure the use effect of the paint.
- Enhance construction performance: Provide moderate viscosity, optimize the construction experience, and make the paint easy to brush or spray.
- Strong compatibility: Suitable for a variety of water-based paint formulations, and work well with a variety of additives.

Water-Based Paint

Textile Printing and Dyeing
- Uniform dyeing: Improve the binding force between dyes and fibers in textile slurries to ensure bright and clear printing and dyeing patterns.
- Save dye usage: By optimizing dye dispersibility, reduce waste and improve process cost-effectiveness.
- Clear printing: Make the printing slurry moderately viscous, prevent bleeding or blurred boundaries, and ensure high-precision printing effects.
- Improve paper quality: Improve surface smoothness and printability during paper coating.
- Enhance paper strength: Optimize the tear resistance of paper, making it more durable in a variety of scenarios.
- Environmentally friendly additives: Used in conjunction with other additives to help the papermaking industry achieve green manufacturing goals.
