Products for Home Care
We supply a comprehensive range of cellulose ethers for the home care industry. Our product portfolio includes key types such as Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (HEC), Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC), Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC), and Methyl Cellulose (MC). These high-purity, multi-functional polymers are essential ingredients for formulating a wide array of household cleaning and maintenance products.
HEC for Home Care Applications
Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (HEC) serves as a highly efficient multifunctional additive in home care formulations, valued for its exceptional thickening, suspending, and stabilizing properties. In liquid detergents, fabric softeners, and hard surface cleaners, HEC rapidly forms uniform pseudoplastic fluid structures, enabling smooth pourability and prolonged cling on vertical surfaces. Its outstanding compatibility ensures synergy with surfactants and fragrances while preventing phase separation or sedimentation. Furthermore, HEC creates protective films that enhance the wear resistance of floor care products while delivering a refined texture. As an eco-friendly water-soluble polymer, HEC provides critical technical support for developing effective, stable, and user-friendly solutions in the home care industry.

HPMC for Home Care Applications
Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) is a versatile, non-ionic cellulose ether widely used in personal care formulations. It primarily functions as a thickener, film-former, and stabilizer.
HPMC is valued for creating smooth, luxurious textures in products like creams, lotions, and hair gels. It provides excellent viscosity control and enhances the stability of emulsions. In leave-on products, it forms a soft, flexible film that improves moisture retention without a greasy feel. HPMC is also used in cleansing products and toothpaste to adjust rheology. Its compatibility with a wide range of ingredients, clarity in solution, and non-irritating nature make it a reliable choice for diverse formulations.
