Description：
Aqueous solutions of HEC have excellent characteristics for applications as thickeners, water-retention agents, suspending and dispersing agents, and as protective colloids. HEC polymers are largely used as water-binder and thickening agents in many industrial applications, that is, personal care products, pharmaceutical formulations, building materials, adhesives, etc., and as stabilizers for liquid soaps.
Product details:
Nature-derived from sustainably sourced cellulose, Kemox HEC offers narrow viscosity ranges, consistent viscosity reproducibility, and excellent solution clarity. Kemox Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (HEC) has been specifically modified to be applied in a wide range of applications from waterborne architectural coatings, emulsion protective colloids for polymerization.
Application:
1. For water-based latex coatings: It can significantly improve thickening and leveling performance.
2. For Oil drilling: It can improve mud carrying capacity during drilling, and prevent a large amount of water from entering the oil layer from the mud, and stabilize the oil layer production capacity.
3. For building construction and building materials: HEC is an effective thickener and binder for cement slurry and mortar. It can improve the fluidity and construction performance of the mortar, and prolong the water evaporation time, and increase the initial cracks of the concrete. It used for painting gypsum, bonding gypsum, gypsum putty can significantly improve its water retention and bonding strength.
4. For toothpaste: HEC can guarantee the stability of toothpaste paste due to its strong salt resistance and acid resistance. In addition, the toothpaste is not easy to dry due to its high water retention and emulsifying ability.
How Much Do You Know About Self-Leveling?
In recent years, due to the popularity of decoration styles such as industrial style, a construction technology called self-leveling ground has entered the public eye, and its own micro-industrial style effect attracts many owners.
What is self-leveling?
Self-leveling is simply a leveling process. That is, on the base layer, materials with automatic leveling or a little auxiliary leveling function are used. After on-site stirring, the paving will flow automatically, and the surface layer formed will be automatically filled according to the low-lying situation.
In recent years, with the advancement of technology and materials, self-leveling is no longer used as a floor cushion, but can be directly applied to the ground for decoration to achieve the effect of floor decoration materials.
Three common self-leveling:
Cement self-leveling:
It is a dry-mixed mortar mainly composed of cement, superplasticized components, natural high-strength aggregates and polymer material-cellulose ether.
The thickness of the cement self-leveling layer is about 3-5mm. The finished floor has a strong mirror feel and a texture similar to that of the cement floor. Cement self-leveling is widely used in the decoration of industrial style.
2. Epoxy self-leveling
Epoxy self-leveling mainly uses epoxy resin as the main material, which is mixed with curing agent, diluent, solvent, dispersing agent (RDP) and some fillers.
We often see epoxy “colored self-leveling” in underground garages, because epoxy self-leveling has the effect of preventing cement floor from ash, which is common in garages or industrial workshops.
Gypsum self-leveling
Gypsum self-leveling also known as gypsum-based self-leveling mortar. It is a kind of dry powder mortar specially used for ground leveling, which is made of gypsum material, special aggregate and various construction chemical additives (cellulose ether) carefully configured and evenly mixed in the factory.
Importance of cellulose ether to self-leveling
Cellulose ether is a common construction additive used in cement self-leveling and gypsum self-leveling. Low viscosity Kemox cellulose ether is widely used for self-leveling. Since self-leveling requires uniformly stirred mortar to be leveled automatically on the ground, the use of water-based materials is relatively large. Adding Kemox cellulose ether can control the water retention of the ground after pouring so that the water seepage is not obvious, and the dry ground has high strength and low shrinkage rate, thereby greatly reducing cracks.
