Products Application

Application

NO.1

HEC is used as agents of dispersing,water-holding, thickening, suspending, film-forming, stabilizing etc.

NO.2

In petroleum exploitation,it is used as stabilizer and thickening agent, lubricating agent for well drilling,completing and consolidating to give slurry a good fluidity and stability.

NO.3

In building construction,used as thickening agent and cohesive agent to improve the fluidity and workability,increase initial gelling strength and avoid cracking. Used in brushing and cohering plaster,it may obviously raise water-holding and coherence strength.

NO.4

Used in daily-use articles such as toothpaste it gives the article a good physical and chemical property,making it good in shape,long period of storage, hard be dry and permeated.

NO.5

In the first time you receive the product,we will have special technicians to contact you for installation,commissioning and other technical support.

NO.6

Besides,it finds wide application in ink, textile dyeing & printing,paper making, pharmaceuticals, food, agriculture,forestry etc.
