One of the key properties of HEC is its ability to thicken aqueous solutions. It is commonly used as a thickening agent in a wide range of products such as paints, adhesives, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. In paints, HEC helps to improve the viscosity and stability of the paint, allowing for better flow and coverage. In adhesives, it helps to control the rheology of the adhesive, making it easier to apply and ensuring a strong bond. In cosmetics, HEC is used as a gelling agent to create smooth and creamy textures in products such as lotions, creams, and shampoos. In pharmaceuticals, HEC is used as a binder and disintegrant in tablet formulations to improve the drug delivery properties.
