HEC for Latex Paints & Coatings

HEC for Latex Paints & Coatings

PTMA HEC is an ideal thickener for latex paint. It has a high thickening efficiency. It can effectively prevent the pigment from flocculating while improving the economics of the formulation. It can improve the construction performance of latex paint and prevent splashing. It has good biological stability at room temperature.
The hydration time of PTMA HE is generally between 5-15min, and it has regular particle shape and good particle size, which makes HEC have good dispersibility and solubility in water, which can effectively prevent the generation of air bubbles and make the paint The membrane is intact and smooth.
At the same time, PTMA HEC also has excellent color paste, pigment compatibility and versatility, and can be used in various paint formulations from matte to high gloss.

Main Application:
Latex paints & Coatings

PTMA HEC can also provide modified hydroxyethyl cellulose, which has a wider viscosity range and enhanced thickening effect, as well as better water retention effect, which makes the formulation more economical, but such HEC has poor color compatibility and is generally used to thicken white waterborne latex paints.

 Properties

•Delayed solubility

 

This PTMA HEC offers excellent performance and thickening efficiency at low concentration.

PTMA HEC has excellent spattering resistance with good leveling both roller and brush application also gives good sag resistance with appropriate thinning in spray application.

PTMA HEC gets has excellent storability with less syneresis and settling at the long term storage test.

PTMA HEC helps prevent bubbles,and makes films smoothly.

PTMA HEC has excellent mill base, good compability and generality; It is suitable for dark light or highlight painting formula.
