MHEC for Paints & Coatings
Methyl Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (MHEC) is a high-performance cellulose ether thickener specifically engineered for aqueous architectural coating formulations. Derived from natural polymers, it delivers excellent sag resistance and spatter control, making it a sustainable and low-impact choice ideal for various residential and commercial architectural paints and coatings.
It is compatible with coating systems based on a wide range of emulsions, including Styrene Acrylic (SA), Pure Acrylic (PA), Vinyl Acetate Ethylene (VAE), Silicone Acrylic, and Terpolymer emulsions.
