1. CheSilo HEC Introduction:
Chesilo Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (HEC) is a non-ionic, water soluble polymer derived from cellulose through a series of chemical and physical processing.
Chesilo HEC is a white to light yellowish, odorless and tasteless powder, readily soluble in hot or cold water to form a viscous gel solution. It can thicken, suspend, bind, emulsify, form films, stabilize, disperse, retain water, and provide protective colloid action.
2. CheSilo HEC Grades and Specifications:
The grade of Chesilo HEC mainly differs in the solution viscosity.
Viscosity specification of Chesilo HEC, at 25ºC, mPa.s (tested by Brookfield LVT)
| Grade | Viscosity measured at the concentration of | |
| 1% | 2% | |
| H 4000 | 3400 - 5000 | 100000 |
| H 3000 | 2600 - 3300 | 50000 |
| H 2000 | 1500 - 2500 | 30000 |
| H 1000 | 800 - 1500 | 20000 |
| MH 5000 | / | 4500 - 6500 |
| MH 2000 | / | 1500 - 2500 |
| MH 300 | / | 150 - 400 |
3. CheSilo HEC Other Specification:
Moisture content (as packed), %: 5 max
PH of a solution: 6,0-8,5
4. Applications:
Chesilo HEC is used as retarder, water retainer in construction mortar such as gypsum, cement plaster, tile adhesive to improve the workability by increasing the open and trowel-ling time. Compare to other cellulose ethers, it has better compressive and flexural strengths and dimensional stability.
Chesilo HEC is used into latex paint such as exterior wall paint to offer ease of solution, low-foaming, thickening efficiency and improved color development and stabilization.
5. Package and Storage:
25KG per bag with PE-liner, 750KGs per pallet, 15 tons with pallets or 17 tons without pallets on 20'container
Keep it in a cool and dry place, away from heat and moisture.
