TS Group’s Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (HEC) is a non-ionic cellulose ether valued for its thickening, stabilizing, and water retention properties in coatings and water-based systems.
At TS Group we manufacture both pure HEC and Hidrophobically modified HEC (HMHEC).
Pure HEC
Our pure HEC delivers consistent thickening and stabilization in water-based systems. Key advantages include:
- Smooth mixing and easy incorporation
- Reliable viscosity control
- Enhanced application properties
- Good color development
- Excellent storage stability
- Enzimatic Resistance – Biostability
- Surface treatment for delayed solubility
Applications:
- Latex Paints
- Interior & Exterior wall coatings
- Waterborne paints
- Waterproofing agents
- Lime and Cementitious Stucco
- Renders and skim coats
Hydrophobically Modified HEC
For advanced systems, we provide hydrophobically modified HEC grades designed to enhance rheology and stability. Benefits include:
- Improved thickening efficiency
- Enhanced wetting ability
- Increased resistance to splashing and sagging
- Improved viscosity stability at different temperatures
Particularly suited for:
- Advanced coating formulations
- Specialized mortar systems
Recommended Applications for our HEC and HMHEC
- Paints & coatings
- Skim coats
- Tile adhesives
- Renders & plasters
- Oil drilling
TS Group’s HEC supports both standard and specialty applications with reliable performance, excellent stability, and ease of use.
