CheSilo Hydroxyethyl cellulose (abbr. CheSilo 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.
CheSilo HEC can thicken,suspend, bind,emulsify,form films, stabilize,disperse,retain water,and provide protective colloid action in water paint,personal care products, oil-drilling or cementing etc..
