Building grade Methyl Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (MHEC) is a cellulose ether that falls under the broader category of hydroxyethyl methylcellulose (HEMC) derivatives. It is used in various applications, including the construction industry, where it is often referred to as a "building grade" additive. MHEC is a versatile polymer that provides several benefits in construction materials.
Building grade MHEC Methyl Hydroxyethyl Cellulose is an odorless, tasteless, non-toxic white powder that can be dissolved in cold water to form a transparent viscous solution. It has the characteristics of thickening, bonding, dispersion, emulsification, film formation, suspension, adsorption, gelation, surface activity, moisture retention and protective colloid.
