The main functions of HEC in water-based coatings:

HEC thickener: HEC has excellent thickening effect, which can significantly increase the viscosity of the coating and improve its fluidity and workability. This makes the paint more even when brushing, rolling or spraying, reducing sagging and dripping, improving construction efficiency and film quality.

HEC stabilizer: In water-based coatings, HEC acts as a stabilizer and can effectively prevent pigments and fillers from settling during storage. This ensures that the paint remains even and consistent when applied, avoiding uneven color or quality issues.

HEC suspending agent: The suspending ability of HEC enables the solid particles in the paint to be suspended for a long time and prevent settling. This property is essential to ensure uniformity and consistency of coatings, especially during prolonged storage and transportation.

HEC film-forming additive: HEC helps form a uniform and smooth coating film during the drying process of the paint. This not only improves the appearance and texture of the paint film, but also improves its durability and protective properties, making it more beautiful and durable.

HEC rheology modifier: HEC has shear thinning properties, that is, the viscosity is reduced under high shear rates (such as brushing or roller coating) and the application is smoother; while under low shear rates (such as when left to stand) ) viscosity recovery, helping to prevent sagging and dripping and maintain paint stability.

HEC water retaining agent: The water retaining ability of HEC can prevent the paint from losing water too quickly during the drying process, reducing brush marks and sagging. This not only improves the smoothness and gloss of the coating film, but also extends the service life of the coating film.
