Product Description: Hydroxyethyl Methylcellulose (HEMC) CAS# 9032-42-2
Hydroxyethyl methyl cellulose (HEMC), also known as methyl hydroxyethyl cellulose (MHEC), is a non-ionic cellulose ether derived from natural polymer cellulose. HEMC powder offers similar performance advantages to other methylcellulose derivatives. It provides excellent water retention and enhances adhesion properties. In addition, it exhibits strong film-forming ability, making it well-suited for construction applications.

Product Description: Hydroxyethyl Methylcellulose (HEMC) CAS# 9032-42-2
Hydroxyethyl methylcellulose (HEMC), also known as methyl hydroxyethyl cellulose (MHEC), is produced from natural renewable polymers such as wood pulp or refined cotton. It is a non-ionic cellulose ether obtained through the modification of methylcellulose with ethylene oxide.
HEMC typically appears as a white to off-white, odorless powder. It is considered safe for all animal species and is environmentally friendly. Its primary applications include tile adhesives, dry-mix mortars, joint fillers, wall putty/skim coats, self-leveling flooring compounds, gypsum plasters, and EIFS (Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems).
