CELLULOSE ETHERSIN APPLICATIONSOF DETERGENT/COSMETIC
HYDROXYETHY CELLULOSE
HEC
Brief Introduction :
Hydroxyethyl cellulose is a kind of non-ionic cellulose ether. lts appearance is white powder and it iseasily soluble in water, The HEC water solution is a non-ionic system, compatible with water-soluble polymers, surfactants, salts, etc, it can be widely used in personal care products, and has excellent salt resis-tance. lt still shows good stability in formulas with salt content up to 25%.
HEC is a good film-forming agent, thickener, stabilizer and dispersant in shampoos, hair sprays andcosmetics. lts thickening and protective colloid properties can be used in liquid detergent and soliddetergent industries.
In toothpaste, HEC enhances the adhesive's resistance to high concentrations of salt, greatlyimproves the storage stability of the paste, and prolongs the storage time of the toothpaste. Tooth-paste manufacturers can combine CMC~HEC in high-salt toothpaste for better results.
