HYDROXYETHYL CELLULOSE

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Hydroxyethyl cellulose powder is a white or light yellow, odorless, non-toxic fibrous or powdered solid prepared by etherification reaction of alkaline cellulose and ethylene oxide (or chloroethanol), belonging to the non ionic soluble cellulose ether class. Due to its excellent thickening, suspension, dispersion, emulsification, adhesion, film formation, moisture protection, and provision of protective colloids, hydroxyethyl cellulose powder has been widely used in fields such as petroleum exploration, coatings, construction, pharmaceuticals and food, textiles, papermaking, and polymer polymerization reactions.
