Application of MHEC MH150MS
KimaCell® MHEC MH150MS methyl hydroxyethyl cellulose is soluble in water and some organic solvents. It can be dissolved in cold water. Its maximum concentration only depends on the viscosity. The solubility changes with the viscosity. The lower the viscosity, the greater the solubility. MHEC products are non-ionic cellulose ethers and are not polyelectrolytes, so they are relatively stable in aqueous solutions when metal salts or organic electrolytes exist, but excessive addition of electrolytes can cause gelation and precipitation.
Due to the surface active function of the aqueous solution, MHEC can be used as a colloidal protective agent, emulsifier and dispersant.
When the aqueous solution of MHEC products is heated to a certain temperature, it becomes opaque, gels, and precipitates, but when it is continuously cooled, it returns to the original solution state, and the temperature at which such gels and precipitates occur mainly depends on their lubrication. agent, suspending agent, protective colloid, emulsifier, etc.is
