Hydroxyethyl Methyl Cellulose (HEMC)

MilaCell™ Hydroxyethyl Methyl Cellulose (HEMC) is a non-ionic cellulose ether that is made from natural polymer cellulose through a series of etherification reactions. MilaCell™ HEMC are excellent in water solubility, water retention, surface activity, thickening, film formation, adhesion, suspension, and high-temperature resistance.

Advantages 

Our MilaCell™ are formulated to offer these improvements:

  • Improved adhesivestrength and flexibility, reducing the risk of splitting under expansion and contraction
  • Good water retention and extended working time
  • Optimized product consistency and rheology
  • Improved adhesion and sliding resistance
