Methyl Hydroxyethyl Cellulose is a nonionic cellulose derivative that dissolves readily in water, either cold or hot.
Compared to other cellulose ether chemistries, the methylcellulose derivatives have a slightly more Newtonian flow characteristic which provides increased high-shear (ICI) viscosity.
HEMC provides many of the same benefits as other methylcellulose derivatives, such as the ability to efficiently thicken and provide water retention.
