a. HOSEACHEM Hydroxyethyl Cellulose aqueous solution of non-newtonian system, the performance of their solution have called thixotropy.
b. In the stationary state, the product is completely dissolved, the best coating system to maintain shape and cans thickening state.
c. In the dump state, the system to maintain moderate viscosity, making the product has excellent liquidity, and does not splash.
d. Brushing and roller coating, the product is easy to spread in the substrate. Facilitate the construction. At the same time, have a good anti-splash.
e. Finally, when the paint coating is completed, the viscosity immediately resume, paint immediate sag resistance.
(3) Dispersion and solubility
a. HOSEACHEM Hydroxyethyl Cellulose are dissolved after a delay in processing, in the case of dry powder added, can effectively prevent caking. Ensure that HEC powder fully dispersed, began to hydration.
b. After proper surface treatment of HOSEACHEM Hydroxyethyl Cellulose, a good adjustment of the dissolution rate and viscosity of the product increased speed.
(4) Storage stability
HOSEACHEM Hydroxyethyl Cellulose has good mildew performance, provide sufficient time for the paint store. Effective prevention and treatment of pigments and filler sedimentation.
