Properties of MK30HE

MK30HE has a relatively low viscosity, yet it boasts excellent application performance, effectively enhancing the quality of coatings and paints.

Typical applications for MK30HE

Latex Paints

Latex paints with HEC are easier to apply as HEC enhances the suspension stability and viscosity of the paint, preventing pigment settling, sagging, and dripping.

Natural Stone Coatings

HEC is widely used in natural stone coatings to enhance the adhesion and coverage of the coating, ensuring uniform coverage on the stone surface. It also increases the water resistance and weather resistance of the coating, extending its lifespan.

Liquid Stone Coatings

HEC can enhance the suspension stability of coatings, preventing solid particle sedimentation and ensuring uniform distribution of the coating. It also improves the water resistance and weather resistance of the coating, enhancing its durability.

Designed for those seeking the ultimate

Upgraded HEC - MK30HEB

In accordance with your specifications, we can provide an enhanced version of MK30HE that enhances the HEC’s resistance to enzymes, increases biological resistance (B – Biological Resistance), and imparts greater stability and durability to the paint, thereby extending its lifespan.
