THYLOCELL®HB-6000 Hydroxyethyl Cellulose Manufacturer Bulk Supply HEC Thickener For Paints and Mortars

THYLOCELL® HB-6000 is a non-ionic, water-soluble hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) developed by Henan Botai Chemical. It is a free-flowing white powder with excellent biostability, high substitution degree, and outstanding thickening efficiency, designed to provide superior rheology control, water retention, adhesion, and film stability across a broad range of industries.

HB-6000 dissolves easily in both cold and hot water, forming transparent, stable solutions.
It functions as a thickener, stabilizer, binder, emulsifier, and protective colloid, offering versatility for applications in paints, construction mortars, oil drilling, personal care, polymerization, agriculture, and textiles.

Key Benefits:

High Thickening Efficiency – Achieves excellent viscosity at low dosages.

Outstanding Rheological Properties – Ensures smooth flow and consistent texture.

Excellent Water Retention – Enhances workability and open time in cement-based mortars.

Superior Biostability – Prevents microbial degradation during storage and use.

Versatile Solubility – Fully soluble in both cold and hot water systems.

Broad Compatibility – Works effectively in paints, coatings, cosmetics, and polymer systems.
