Hydroxyethyl methyl cellulose

Description:

Hydroxyethyl methyl cellulose (HEMC) is a non-ionic, water-soluble polymer derived from cellulose, characterized by its ability to form viscous solutions in water. It is produced through the etherification of cellulose with methyl and hydroxyethyl groups, which enhances its solubility and modifies its properties. HEMC is commonly used as a thickening agent, binder, and film-forming agent in various applications, including pharmaceuticals, food products, cosmetics, and construction materials. Its characteristics include excellent water retention, stability over a wide pH range, and compatibility with various other substances. HEMC is also known for its low toxicity and is generally regarded as safe for use in food and personal care products. Additionally, it exhibits good emulsifying properties and can improve the texture and consistency of formulations. The degree of substitution of the methyl and hydroxyethyl groups can be adjusted during synthesis, allowing for tailored properties to meet specific application requirements.

Controlled Product

CAS: 9032-42-2

Methyl 2-hydroxyethyl cellulose (MEC) is a synthetic substance that is used as a thickening and emulsifying agent in many products, including foods, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. MEC has been shown to inhibit the activity of certain enzymes, such as amylase, lipase, and protease. In addition to these properties, MEC is also known for its high degree of thermal stability and light resistance. This product can be used in a wide range of applications due to its versatility and low cost.
