TS Group’s Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (HEC) is a non-ionic cellulose ether valued for its thickening, stabilizing, and water retention properties in water-based construction and coating systems. With excellent cold-water solubility and a reliable viscosity profile, it is a versatile additive widely used across industries.
Our HEC grades ensure predictable performance in dry-mix mortars, coatings, and specialty applications, supporting consistent quality in demanding environments.
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
Applications:
- Paints and coatings
- Tile adhesives and cement mortars
- 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
- Optimized open time and workability
- Increased resistance to splashing and sagging
Particularly suited for:
- Advanced coating formulations
- Specialized mortar systems
Recommended Applications
- Paints & coatings
- Tile adhesives
- Renders & plasters
- Skim coats
- Oil drilling
TS Group’s HEC supports both standard and specialty applications with reliable performance, excellent stability, and ease of use.
