1. Used in water latex coatings:
As a protective colloid, HEC can be used in vinyl acetate emulsion polymerization to improve the stability of the polymerization system in a wide pH range.
Additives such as pigments and fillers used in manufacturing are evenly dispersed, stable and provide thickening effect. Can also be used for styrene, acrylic, propylene
Suspension polymers are used as dispersants. Used in latex paint, it can significantly improve thickening and leveling properties.
2. Oil drilling:
HEC is used as a thickening agent in various muds required for drilling, well setting, cementing and fracturing operations to ensure good fluidity and stability of the mud.
Qualitative. It improves the mud carrying capacity during drilling and prevents a large amount of water from entering the oil layer from the mud, thus stabilizing the production capacity of the oil layer.
3. Use sub-construction construction and building materials:
Due to its strong water retention capacity, HEC is an effective thickener and binder for cement slurry and mortar. Adding it to mortar can improve fluidity and construction.
performance, and can extend the evaporation time of water, improve the initial strength of concrete and avoid cracks. Paint plaster with plaster. Bonding plaster. plaster
Putty can significantly improve its water retention and bonding strength.
4. Used in toothpaste:
Due to its strong salt-holding and acid resistance, HEC can ensure the stability of toothpaste. In addition, due to its strong water retention and emulsifying ability, the toothpaste is not easy to dry out.
5. Used in water-based ink, HEC can make the ink dry quickly and prevent it from penetrating.
In addition, HEC is also widely used in textile printing and dyeing, papermaking, daily chemicals, etc.
