HEC DAICEL
Hydroxyethyl Cellulose

Hydroxyethyl Cellulose
HEC DAICEL is a water-soluble polymer made from cellulose, a natural material, and developed using Daicel’s proprietary technology.
It contributes to enriching people’s lives through its applications in electronic materials, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, paints, and civil engineering and construction materials, and it is of reliable quality.
HEC DAICEL

[ Characteristics ]
· HEC is nonionic and is not affected easily by salts or metal ions.
· SP SE are dispersion improved type. EP EE are normal dissolution type.
· There are various grades depending on viscosity (molecular weight).
· Besides different grades for industrial use, we line up grades available for The Japanese standards of Quasi-Drug Ingredients.
[ Applications ]
Electronics, Electrical materials (thickening agents, binders),
Cosmetics (shampoo, toothpaste),
Catalysts (thickening agents, binders), Paints (thickening agents, dispersants),
Civil engineering,
Building materials (additives for cement-based products), etc.
