DOW Hydroxyethyl Cellulose, for MULTIPLE INDUSTRIES, CAS No. : 9004-62-0

Listing ID #4271028

hec - hydroxyethyl cellulose

cellosize™ is a nonionic, water-soluble polymer that can thicken, suspend, bind, emulsify, form films, stabilize, disperse, retain water, and provide protective colloid action. It is a free-flowing powder that readily dissolves in hot or cold water without excessive mixing or heating.

application

•paint thickening – low-foaming and efficient stabilizer for water-based paints.

•oil production – build viscosity in drilling, work-over, and completion fluids for oil recovery operations.

•latex polymerization – create monomer emulsions, stabilize growing polymer particles during polymerization, and impart freeze/thaw and shear stability to the latex product.

•agriculture – suspend solid pesticides in water-based sprays, help bind the pesticide to foliage, and help thicken spray emulsions to reduce spray drift. Hec can also be used as a seed coating.

•construction – gypsum, cement, lime, and organic plasters, tile adhesives, and mortars.

•cosmetics and detergents – thickener, film-former, binder, stabilizer, and dispersant in shampoos, creams, neutralizers, and lotions.

•paper and inks – gloss and ink hold-out sizing. Also contributes to improved grease resistance and improved water retention of coating colors.

•textile sizes, coatings, binders, and adhesives and dyeing aids – warp sizing and finishes that can be removed by laundering, as well as an adhesive thickener and binder to control strike-through and improve print definition.

•household products – thickener, stabilizer, and binder in liquid detergents and cleaners, fabric softeners, polishes, and air fresheners.
