Typical Properties

Methyl 2-hydroxyethyl cellulose Function

Hydroxyethyl methylcellulose (MHPC) is an odorless, tasteless, non-toxic white powder that can be dissolved in cold water to form a transparent viscous solution. It has the properties of thickening, adhesion, dispersion, emulsification, film formation, suspension, adsorption, gelling, surface activity, moisture retention and protective colloid.
Since the aqueous solution has surface-active functions, it can be used as a colloidal protective agent, emulsifier and dispersant. Hydroxyethyl methyl cellulose aqueous solution has good hydrophilicity and is an efficient water retention agent. Because hydroxyethyl methylcellulose contains hydroxyethyl groups, it has good anti-fungal ability and has good viscosity stability and anti-fungal degeneration during long-term storage.

Methyl 2-hydroxyethyl cellulose Usage

Widely used in water-based latex coatings, construction and building materials, printing inks, oil drilling, etc.
