Bio-stable HEC in Paints
CELOSE Bio-stable HEC is a vital thickener for architectural coatings. Its superior hydrophilicity ensures excellent compatibility with emulsions, effectively preventing phase separation and sedimentation while synergizing with other water-based additives. Unlike conventional HEC that degrades easily, CELOSE Bio-stable HEC features enhanced biostability through proprietary processing, maintaining long-term efficacy even in poor water conditions.

HPMC in paints
Hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) is a water-soluble polymer used in drilling and fracturing fluids for thickening, stabilization, and fluid-loss control. It enhances viscosity for cuttings suspension, improves wellbore stability, and ensures efficient proppant transport. With thermal stability (up to 150°C), salt compatibility, and eco-friendliness, HEC boosts efficiency in high-pressure reservoirs while minimizing formation damage.

CMC in Paints
Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) is a cost-effective thickener and stabilizer for water-based paints, enhancing viscosity control, pigment suspension, and anti-settling properties. While less common than HPMC/HEMC, it suits low-to-medium PVC formulations, improving brushability and reducing splatter. Its high water solubility and eco-friendly profile make it ideal for eco-label paints (e.g., MCS 60000).
