Methyl 2-hydroxyethyl cellulose CAS 9032-42-2

Methyl Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (MHPC) is an odorless, tasteless, non-toxic white powder that dissolves in cold water to form a transparent viscous solution. It has the properties of thickening, bonding, dispersing, emulsifying, film-forming, suspending, adsorbing, gelling, surface-activating, retaining water and protecting colloids. As the aqueous solution has the function of surface activity, it can be used as colloid protection agent, emulsifier and dispersant. Hydroxyethyl methyl cellulose aqueous solution has good hydrophilicity and is a highly efficient water retention agent. Hydroxyethyl methyl cellulose has good anti-mold ability because it contains hydroxyethyl group, so it has good viscosity stability and anti-mold when stored for a long time.
