Adding HEC to paints and coatings is important. It improves rheological properties, water retention and adhesion. This reduces sagging, cracking, and peeling, ensures coating quality and thickness, and enhances the stability, durability, and decorative effect.
The adhesion, hiding power, chemical resistance, and weather resistance of the coating are important properties that affect the application effect of the coating, and the addition of HEC to the coating has obvious effects on improving the performance of the coating, which can adjust the viscosity and rheological properties of the coating, improve the convenience and efficiency of construction, and improve the durability of the coating
MikaZone Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (HEC) serves as a thickener, stabilizer, and binder in the paint and coating industry. This polymer, which dissolves in water, can be readily mixed into water-based formulations. Hydroxyethyl Cellulose powder imparts superior thickening and rheological characteristics to paint and coating formulations, thereby improving their application qualities and overall effectiveness.

HEC cellulose in water-based paints serves multiple purposes at once. One of its main benefits is its rapid and efficient solubility. It significantly improves color alterations while delivering the desired thickening effect.HEC additives introduce a range of color variations, allowing for effective color modification in waterborne paints.
MikaZone Cellulose HEC is a versatile paint thickener, commonly used in paint and coating formulations to enhance viscosity and improve flow and leveling properties. Additionally, it serves as a water-binder and thickening agent in various industries, including cosmetics, personal care products, building materials, and adhesives.
Water-based paints are mainly used for protecting and decorating interior walls and ceilings, but they can also be used for exterior applications.
The excellent workability of paints, especially those with high pigment volume concentration (PVC), is thanks to MikaZone HEC.
The Mikazone PS series HPMC is surface-treated, allowing for rapid dispersion in cold water, enhancing workability and rheological performance, making it highly suitable for applications in the coatings industry.
MikaZone is a prominent brand with a strong global presence, actively operating in over 20 countries through a network of official agents and distributors. Our dedicated sales representatives are available to assist you with technical and commercial inquiries in your region. If you are interested in exploring partnership opportunities with us and becoming a distributor in a new market, we encourage you to contact us for further information and guidance.
We’d love to offer samples for your testing, lab approval, and pilot production before confirming your purchase order. Typically, we send 200g samples to you for free via DHL, FedEx, or TNT.
The recommended shelf life of MikaZone® cellulose ether products is 24 months, while the recommended shelf life for MikaZone® redispersible polymer powder products is 12 months. Store these products in a cool place, keeping the container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated area.
We have chemical laboratories and application laboratories to ensure the best satisfaction of each order.
1) The chemical laboratory allows us to evaluate characteristics such as viscosity, humidity, ash, pH, methyl and hydroxypropyl content, and degree of substitution.
2) The application laboratory allows us to measure open time, water retention, adhesive strength, slip resistance, sag resistance, setting time, and workability.
Please contact our sales representatives to arrange a suitable time for assistance with visa and hotel bookings. You can also reach out to them during annual exhibitions and meetings such as China Coat, Middle East Coating Show, European Coating Show, American Coating Show, etc. Visit our website for more information on our attendance at these events.
This is not a problem. Our experienced technical team and high-tech laboratory can check your special requirements, and we can produce different improved products for each different customer. Please contact our sales representative.
We understand that some countries/regions have mandatory requirements for international trade and payment terms, so we support T/T, L/C and D/P to facilitate business from different countries.
Generally, we can ship within 7 -15 days after receiving the official order. Depending on the distance and mode of transportation, the time to reach the final port will vary. According to our experience, it may take about 7-30 days for near ocean routes, and ocean routes may take 45-60 days. please contact us for more accurate information.
