Main Application
01 Self-Leveling Compounds
Enhances flow, prevents segregation, and ensures even spreading with stable viscosity.
02 Water-Based Paints & Coatings
Acts as a thickener and stabilizer for improved brush ability, leveling, and anti-sag performance.
03 Cement-Based Plasters & Mortars
Provides better consistency, water retention, and trowel ability for smooth and durable finishes.
04 Wall Putty & Skim Coat
Enhances water retention and application smoothness, reduces cracks, and delivers a uniform surface.
05 Tile Adhesive
Improves open time, workability, and slip resistance for better tile alignment and strong bonding.
06 Gypsum-Based Products
Improves workability and crack resistance in gypsum plasters, joint fillers, and repair compounds.
Product Advantages of MHEC

- •
In the field of pharmaceuticals, hydrocolloid matrices are used as materials for preparing sustained-release preparations, pore-forming agents, and coating agents. They can also be used as thickening agents, suspending agents, dispersing agents, adhesives, emulsifiers, film-forming agents, and water-retaining agents for the preparations. - •
In food processing, they can also be used as adhesives, emulsifiers, film-forming agents, thickening agents, suspending agents, dispersing agents, and water-retaining agents, etc. - •
In the daily chemical industry, they are used as additives for toothpaste, cosmetics, detergents, etc. - •They are used as gelling agents, water-retaining agents for cement, gypsum, and lime, and are excellent admixtures for powder building materials.
- •Hydroxyethyl methyl cellulose is widely used as a drug preparation excipient, including oral tablets, suspensions, and topical preparations.
