Application Areas

Hydroxyethyl methyl cellulose is in the form of white or off-white powder. It is easily soluble in cold water but insoluble in hot water. It has good anti-sagging effects, a long open time, high early strength, strong high-temperature adaptability, is easy to stir and convenient to operate. Therefore, it is widely used in multiple fields. In the fields of coatings and building materials, its common application scenarios cover water-based latex coatings, gypsum plastering and gypsum products in building construction and building materials, various special mortars, as well as panel caulking and tile adhesives. In addition, HEMC can also be used in the cosmetics field. It is added to emulsions and moisturizing creams as a thickening agent to increase the viscosity and stability of products. In the food processing field, it can be used in the processing of dairy products, baked goods and meat products to play roles such as thickening, water retention and improving taste.
