HEC for Paints & Coatings
Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (HEC) is a bio-stable cellulose ether thickener specifically engineered for aqueous architectural coating formulations. Sourced from natural polymers, it is a green, non-toxic, and readily biodegradable product, making it an eco-friendly and low-carbon choice ideal for various residential and commercial architectural paints and coatings.
It is suitable for 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.
