CheSilo ^TM  Hydroxy Ethyl Cellulose
 
CheSilo Hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) is a
non-ionic, water-soluble polymer derived from cellulose through a series
of chemical and physical processes.
CheSilo HEC is a white to light yellowish, oderless and tastless powder,
readily soluble in hot or cold water to form a viscous gel solution.
When pH in solution is within 2 to 12, the solution is quite stable.
Since CheSilo HEC group is nonionic one in water solution, it won't be
reacted with other anions or cations and insensitive to the salts. But
HEC molecule is capable of generating esterification, etherification and
acetal reaction, so it is possible to make it insoluble in water or
improve its properties. CheSilo HEC also has good film-forming ability
and surface activity.      
 
TYPES AND SPECIFICATIONS
The types of CheSilo HEC mainly differs in the solution viscosity.

APPLICATIONS
HEC can be used in many fields as thickener, fluid modifier, protective
colloid, stabilizer, water-loss controller, adhesive agent, etc. It's
most frequently used maximum usage is functioned in latex paint as
thickener and protective colloid. The detailed application is shown as
below.
