Detergent grade MHEC Methyl hydroxyethyl cellulose is a kind of non-ionic high molecular cellulose polymer, in the form of white or off-white powder. It is soluble in cold water but insoluble in hot water. The solution exhibits strong pseudoplasticity and provides higher shear. Viscosity. MHEC/HEMC is mainly used as an adhesive, protective colloid, thickener and stabilizer, and emulsifying additive.
Methyl Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (MHEC) is a valuable cellulose ether that finds applications in a wide range of industries, including the detergent industry. When used in detergents, MHEC offers several valuable properties that contribute to the formulation and performance of cleaning products.
