Application
Natrosol HE 3KB HEC is a nonionic water-soluble polymer. The hydrophobic modification consists of long- chain alkyl groups, chemically bound to the polymer backbone. The physical properties of hydroxyethylcellulose(HEC) and hydrophobically modified HEC(HMHEC) are essentially different. The nonionic structure of NatrosolTM HE 3KB HEC is an advantage in latex paints, Natrosol™ HE 3KB HEC contributes to significant property improvements to latex paints, such as:
● outstanding spatter resistance
● enhanced brushing viscosity, therefore better film building
● improved leveling with good sag resistance
● excellent storage stability
● biostable and enzyme resistant
