 Huayi cellulose

English: Hydroxyethyl celluloseCAS: 9004-64-2 Properties: This product is a white powder, odorless and odorless, and has a slow burning rate; equilibrium temperature: 23 ° C 50% rh at 6%, 84% rh at 29%. The viscosity changes little in the range of pH 2-12, but the viscosity decreases beyond this range.

Important properties: As a non-ionic surfactant, hydroxyethyl cellulose has the following properties in addition to thickening, suspending, binding, floating, film forming, dispersing, retaining water and providing protective colloids:

1. HEC can be dissolved in hot or cold water, and is generally insoluble in most organic solvents; high temperature or boiling does not precipitate, making it have a wide range of solubility and viscosity characteristics, and non-thermogel;

2. It is a non-ionic type that can coexist with other water-soluble polymers, surfactants and salts in a wide range.It is an excellent colloid thickener containing a high concentration of electrolyte solution;

3, the water retention capacity is twice as high as that of methyl cellulose, and it has good flow regulation.

4. Compared with the recognized methyl cellulose and hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, the dispersing ability of HEC is the worst, but it has the strongest protective colloid ability.

Solution and preparation method main uses:

1. This product can be used in the production of petroleum water-based gel fracturing fluid, polymeric dispersant such as polyvinyl chloride and polystyrene. It can also be used as latex thickener in the paint industry, cement coagulant and water retention agent in the construction industry, glazing agent and toothpaste adhesive in the ceramic industry. It is also widely used in industrial fields such as printing and dyeing, textiles, papermaking, medicine, health, food, cigarettes and pesticides.

    2. Mainly used as surfactant, colloid protective agent, emulsion stabilizer for emulsion polymerization such as vinyl chloride and vinyl acetate, as well as tackifier, dispersant and dispersion stabilizer for latex. It can also be used for sizing agents in the textile industry, adhesion, thickening, emulsifying, and stabilizing additives in the electronics and light industry sectors, as well as oil-field water-based gel fracturing fluids in the petroleum industry.

    3. Used as adhesive, surfactant, colloid protective agent, dispersant, emulsifier and dispersion stabilizer. It has a wide range of applications in coatings, inks, fibers, dyeing, papermaking, cosmetics, agricultural chemicals, beneficiation, oil extraction and medicine.

    4. As a thickener. It has the properties of thickening, suspending, binding, emulsifying, dispersing, retaining moisture, etc., and can prepare solutions with different viscosity ranges.
