HEC Applications

HEC Applications

1. Used for water emulsion paint: As a protective colloid, HEC can be used for vinyl acetate emulsion polymerization to improve the stability of the polymerization system in a wide pH range. In the manufacture of finished products, additives such as pigments and fillers are uniformly dispersed, stabilized and provide thickening effect. It can also be used as a dispersant for suspension polymers such as styrene, acrylate, propylene, etc. It can significantly improve thickening and leveling performance when used in latex paint. 2. In terms of oil drilling: HEC acts as a thickener in various muds required for drilling, well logging, cementing and fracturing operations to obtain good fluidity and stability of the mud. Improve the mud carrying capacity during drilling, and prevent a large amount of water from entering the oil layer from the mud, stabilizing the production capacity of the oil layer. 3. For building construction and building materials: Due to its strong water retention capacity, HEC ten mud. The effective thickener and binder of mortar can improve the fluidity and construction performance of the mortar, and can prolong the water evaporation time. Improve the initial strength of concrete and avoid cracks. Used for plastering, bonding gypsum, gypsum putty can significantly improve its water retention and bonding strength. 4. Used in toothpaste 5. Used in water-based inks: HEC can make the ink dry quickly and not penetrate. In addition, HEC is also widely used in textile printing and dyeing, papermaking, daily chemicals, etc.
