Industrial Manufacturing Field
1. Coatings & Inks: An efficient thickener and leveling agent for water-based systems, it improves the flatness and anti-sagging property of paint films, stabilizes the suspension of pigments and fillers, and is suitable for architectural coatings, industrial paints, water-based inks, etc.
2. Building Materials: Serves as a water retention agent and thickener in cement mortar, putty and tile adhesive, reducing water loss, preventing cracking, and improving the workability and bonding strength of construction materials. It is also used for modification of gypsum products and thermal insulation mortar.
3. Textile Dyeing & Printing: A viscosity-increasing and water-retaining component in textile sizing paste, it enhances the adhesion of the paste to fibers, improves sizing uniformity, and reduces weaving breakage. As a printing paste in dyeing and printing, it ensures pigment paste suspension and printing definition.
4. Ceramic Processing: A thickening and suspending agent for ceramic glazes and blank slurries, it prevents the sedimentation of solid particles, improves the flatness of glaze surfaces and the formability of ceramic blanks, and reduces firing defects.
Daily Chemical & Pharmaceutical Field
1. Daily Chemicals: Used as a thickener, stabilizer and film-forming agent in shampoos, body washes, facial creams and other personal care products, it improves product consistency and application feel, and stabilizes the formula system. In toothpaste, it adjusts viscosity and improves product formability and brushing experience.
2. Medicien & Food: Serves as a binder for pharmaceutical tablets and a suspending agent for suspensions in the pharmaceutical industry, ensuring the formability of medicien and system stability. In the food industry, food-grade HEC is used as a thickener and emulsion stabilizer for water-based food systems such as beverages and sauces.
Other Fields
It is a thickening and film-forming additive for water-based adhesives, improving the bonding strength and water resistance of adhesive layers. In the papermaking industry, it acts as a paper sizing agent and surface coating agent, enhancing paper strength, smoothness and printability. In lithium battery slurries, it is a dispersion stabilizer, improving the uniformity and coating performance of electrode slurries.
