Commonly used in coatings are hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC), hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC), etc.
Main functions
▶Thickening: Increase the viscosity of the coating so that it can better adhere to the wall and other surfaces during construction, reduce sagging, and ensure the uniformity and thickness of the coating.
▶Water retention: Helps to maintain the moisture in the coating, delays the drying time, increases the open time of the coating, and facilitates construction operations.
▶Improve construction performance: Makes the coating easier to brush, roll or spray, and improves the efficiency and quality of construction.
▶Stabilize emulsion: Helps to stabilize the emulsion components in the coating and prevent emulsion separation and demulsification.
▶Improve anti-sagging: Ensure that the coating will not flow when applied on a vertical surface, forming a uniform and beautiful coating.
▶Improve storage stability: Keep the coating stable during storage and prevent the sedimentation and stratification of components such as pigments and fillers.
▶Enhance film performance: Helps to improve the flexibility, scrub resistance and water resistance of the coating.
