QualiCell cellulose ether HEC products can improve by the following properties in latex paint:
·Excellent workability and improved spattering resistance.
·Good water retention, hiding power and film formation of the coating material is enhanced.
·Good thickening effect, providing excellent coating performance and improving the scrub resistance of the coating.
Cellulose ether for Latex Paint
Latex paint is a water-based paint. Similar to acrylic paint, it is made from acrylic resin. Unlike acrylic, it’s recommended to use latex paint when painting larger areas. Not because it dries slower, but because it’s usually purchased in larger quantities.Latex paint is easier to work with and dries more quickly, but it isn't quite as durable as oil-based paint. Latex is good for general painting projects such as walls and ceilings.Latex paints are now made with a water soluble base and are built on vinyl and acrylics. As a result, they clean up very easily with water and mild soap. Latex paints are best for exterior painting jobs, since they are very durable.
Application of Hydroxyethyl Cellulose in Latex Paints
The addition of paint additives are often minute in quantity, however, they make significant and effective alterations to the performance of the latex paint. We can identify the tremendous functions of HEC and its importance in painting. Hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) possesses certain purposes in the production of latex paints that distinguishes it from other similar additives.
For Latex paint manufacturers, using the Hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) enables achieve several objectives for their painting. One major function of HEC in latex paints is that it allows an appropriate thickening effect. It also adds to the color of the paint, HEC additives provide additional color variants to latex paints and gives manufacturers the leverage of modifying colors based on clients’ request.
The application of HEC in the production of latex paints also boosts the PH value by improving the non-ionic properties of the paint. This allows the manufacture of stable and strong variations of latex paints, which have a diverse range of formulations. Providing a quick and effective dissolving property is another function of Hydroxyethyl cellulose. Latex paints, with the addition of hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC), can dissolve fast and this helps to quicken the pace of painting. High-scalability is another function of HEC.
