Application of Hydroxyethyl Cellulose in Papermaking

2023 04/18

Hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) is a water-soluble polymer compound with thickening, viscosifying, water retention, gelling and other properties, so it is widely used in papermaking.

1. Increase the strength of paper: HEC can increase the strength and tensile properties of paper, and improve the mechanical properties of paper.

2. Improve the surface properties of paper: HEC can improve the surface finish and smoothness of paper, making the paper more beautiful.

3. Increase water retention of paper: HEC can increase water retention of paper and prevent cracking or deformation of paper during drying.

4. Adjust the viscosity of the paper: HEC can adjust the viscosity of the paper to make the coating performance of the paper more stable.

5. Increase the adhesion of paper: HEC can increase the adhesion of paper, making the paper more firm during printing and processing.

In short, HEC has many excellent properties in papermaking, can improve the quality and performance of paper, and is widely used in papermaking industry.
