Oil drilling grade HEC Hydroxyethyl cellulose is a kind of nonionic soluble cellulose ether, soluble in both hot and cold water, with thickening, suspension, adhesion, emulsification, film forming, water retention and protective colloid properties.
Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (HEC) is used in various industries, including the oil and gas industry, where it is referred to as "Oil Drilling Grade HEC." In this context, HEC serves as a critical additive in drilling fluids, also known as drilling muds. Drilling fluids are essential for drilling and completing oil and gas wells, and HEC plays a specific role in enhancing their performance.
