VAMCELL™ HEMC Hydroxy Ethyl Methyl Cellulose
VAMCELL™ is our registered trademark of Cellulose ethers
Product information	Vamcell™ HEMC is one kind of white powder and is odorless and tasteless, produced by the alkalisation of the cellulose being carried out in the presence of liquid methyl chloride and the alkali cellulose being reacted with ethylene oxide. Similar to methyl cellulose while being added to hydroxy ethyl groups, HEMC is more resistant to saline, easily soluble in water and has higher gel temperature.
Properties	Good water retention capacity, Improved adhesion and sliding resistance, Developing workability, Prolonging open time, Good wetting ability, Increased mortar yield
Appearance	white or off-white powder
Methoxyl (%)	22.0-32.0
Gel temperature (℃ )	60-90
Moisture (%)	5.0Max
Ash (%)	2.0Max
Ph value	5.0-8.0
Package	Packed in 20kg or 25kg paper compound plastic bags , Stuffed 13MT/20’FCL without pallet, Stuffed 10MT/20’FCL palleted

Hydroxyethyl methylcellulose provides many of the same benefits as other methylcellulose derivatives, such as the ability to efficiently thicken and provide water retention, These products, offered under the CELOPRO™ MH brand, are highly effective additives used to improve the quality and processing characteristics of building materials such as plasters and renders, mortars, tile adhesives, joint compounds and emulsion paints.
