Product Details
Product Description
MelaColl™ Hydroxyethyl Methyl Cellulose (HEMC), also known as Methyl Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (MHEC), is a non-ionic cellulose ether. It is made from natural polymer cellulose through a series of etherification reactions. HEMC is excellent in water solubility, water retention, surface activity, thickening, film formation, adhesion, suspension, and high-temperature resistance... Mikem’s products have been widely used in various industries, including tile adhesives, grouts, skim coat/wall putty, cement renders, gypsum-based products, cement-based mortars.

Longer than High lights
- Cold-water solubility. Easily dissolves in cold water, reducing your waiting time.
- High-temperature resistance. Usually keep working under 75℃.
- Thickness. Increases viscosity and stability of liquids.
- Water retention. Extending the open time also helps cement hydration more fully.
- Lubrication. Improves workability and processing of cement.
- PH stability. Remains stable in the range of pH 3~11.
- Non-ionic. It is more stable in an aqueous solution.
- Thermal gelation. It turns into a gel when the temperature is too high, and when cools down, it turns into the liquid again.
- Air entraining. Helps increase mortar production and improve workability.
- Film formation. Waterproof and oil-proof.

What’s the loading capacity of HEMC by 20 GP ?
The loading capacity for HEMC by 20 GP is 10T.
Can you please produce in 12.5kg, 6.25kg and 3kg as well ?
We offer customized packaging, and we can provide the logo design if you need.
What’s the difference between HEMC and HPMC?
The gel temperature of HPMC is 55℃-75℃ .
The gel temperature of HEMC is 75℃-100 ℃.
Why do we add 2% HPMC according to your TDS the detergent is not transparent?
2% dosage is the proportion to test the Brucelloy viscosity by water solution, which is not the actual dosage.
Do you have FDA, BFR or GB for your HPMC product ?
At present, our products are mainly of construction grade and daily chemical grade. We will develop food grade and pharma grade in the future.
