Hydroxyethyl Cellulose in Stone Paint: Properties, Functions, and Application Guide

Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (HEC) is a high-purity, non-ionic water-soluble polymer specially engineered for architectural coatings, particularly textured stone paints. Acting as a critical rheology modifier, it delivers exceptional thickening, water retention, and anti-sagging properties, ensuring your stone paint formulations achieve superior workability and a flawless architectural finish.

Key Functional Benefits

• Advanced Rheology Control: Provides optimal pseudoplasticity, preventing the aggregate in stone paint from settling during storage while ensuring smooth, even application during spraying or troweling.

• Superior Water Retention: Efficiently locks in moisture within the coating film, preventing premature drying and cracking under challenging environmental conditions.

• Enhanced Anti-Sagging: Delivers robust structural stability on vertical surfaces, allowing for thicker application layers without the risk of slumping.

• Excellent Compatibility: Seamlessly blends with emulsions, pigments, and natural stone particles without altering color or gloss.

Typical Applications

• Exterior and interior stone-effect textured paints

• Water-based architectural wall coatings

• Emulsion paints and construction mortars

Technical Specifications

• Appearance: White to light yellow fibrous powder

• Solubility: Readily soluble in both cold and hot water

• pH Range (2% solution): 6.0 – 8.5

• Recommended Dosage: 0.2% – 0.5% (depending on specific formulation requirements)

Packaging & Storage

• Packaging: 25 kg multi-wall paper bags with inner polyethylene liners.

• Storage: Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep bags tightly sealed after opening.

       Sichuan Hersbit Scientific and Technical Co.,Ltd. was established in 2018, relying on the resource advantages of China North Industries Group, engaged in the trade of materials--- Hydroxyethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose and other materials, and at the same time participated in the production and marketing of Ammonium Carboxymethyl Cellulose .
