How do I choose the right viscosity grade of hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC)?
HEC comes in various grades by 2% solution viscosity (from a few thousand up to about 100,000 mPa·s). Coatings and construction usually use medium-to-high viscosity for thickening and water retention, while personal care and pharma are chosen by rheology needs. Please specify your target viscosity so Bio-CORNIGS can match the grade.
What industries is hydroxyethyl cellulose used in?
HEC is widely used in construction paints/putty (thickening & water retention), oil drilling and fracturing fluids (thickening & fluid-loss control), personal care (shampoo, toothpaste), pharma, paper, printing/dyeing and ceramics. It is an important water-soluble cellulose ether thickener.
What information should I provide to get an HEC quotation?
Please provide the required viscosity grade, purchase quantity, application field (coatings/drilling/personal care/pharma, etc.), packaging requirement, destination port or delivery address, and whether COA, MSDS or other documents are required.
How is HEC dissolved and stored?
HEC is a white powder; disperse and wet it first, then stir until fully dissolved to avoid lumping. Store in a ventilated, dry and cool place, protected from moisture and fire. Exact dissolving procedure and handling conditions follow the batch specification and MSDS.
Can CORNIGS provide COA and MSDS?
CORNIGS can provide COA, MSDS, specifications, packaging information and storage conditions according to the specific product and batch, helping customers complete purchasing, quality review and supplier evaluation.
What information should I provide before requesting a quotation?
