What are the advantages of our hydroxyethyl cellulose in water-based paints?

Advantages: 1. Our KDOCEL HEC series (HEC1MS, HEC3MS, HEC6MS, HEC9MS) has a high degree of substitution 2. Excellent gel particle performance 3.. Our KDOCEL HEC series has strong thermal stability. It is less prone to denaturation and affects use. 4. The ash and water content of our products are very low. 5. Compared with competitive products in the market, our KDOCEL HEC series is a good match.

Hydroxyethyl cellulose HEC is a non-ionic surfactant. In addition to thickening, suspension, bonding, emulsification, film formation, dispersion, water retention and protection. This product is a white or slightly yellow odorless and easy-flowing powder that is soluble in both cold and hot water.

Our advantages are:

1. Our KDOCEL HEC series (HEC1MS, HEC3MS, HEC6MS, HEC9MS) has a high degree of substitution and is stable at 2.6-3. Generally speaking, the higher the degree of substitution, the stronger the enzyme resistance of HEC. Because as the degree of substitution increases, the more hydroxyl groups on the cellulose molecules are replaced by hydroxyethyl groups, the fewer enzyme action sites there are, and the more difficult it is for the enzymatic reaction to proceed.

2. We understand that water-based coatings have strict requirements for HEC gel particles, and our KDOCEL HEC products have excellent gel particle performance. 

Below is the graph of our HEC 1MS and HEC 6MS. 

3. Our KDOCEL HEC series has strong thermal stability. Less prone to denaturation, affecting use. Below is the testing results of thermal stability compared to our HEC and competitors. 

4. The ash and water content of our products are very low. After testing, the water content of our products is stable below 4.2%. The ash content is around 4.2%. Below is the testing result of moisture contrast compared our HEC 1MS, HEC 6MS with our competitors. 

5. Compared with competitive products in the market, our KDOCEL HEC series has a good match. Therefore, our products have higher and more uniform color rendering, can make pigments and fillers dispersed evenly, and enhance the anti-color flocculation performance, ultimately bringing good color development effect.
