HYDROCEL – HEC

Hydrocel – Hydroxy Ethyl Cellulose polymer is a hydroxyethyl ether of cellulose. Hydrocel – Hydroxy Ethyl Cellulose (HEC) is a non-ionic water soluble polymer derived from cellulose. Hydrocel-HEC dissolves readily in cold or hot water. Its solutions have somewhat different flow properties from those obtained with other water-soluble polymers. It is used to produce solutions having a wide range of viscosity. Such solutions are pseudo plastic – that is, they vary in viscosity depending on the amount of shear stress applied.
