HEMC Asked Questions

How do I choose the appropriate HEMC viscosity for my application?

When choosing HEMC viscosity, consider the specific requirements of your application, such as desired consistency, water retention, and overall performance. 

How are HEMC grades differentiated?

HEMC grades are differentiated based on their viscosity, which is typically measured in mPa·s (millipascal-seconds) or cP (centipoise). Different grades offer varying performance characteristics, such as water retention, solubility, and thickening ability.

How to choose the appropriate HEMC variety?

When selecting HEMC, consider the specific application area and performance requirements, including viscosity, solubility, and water retention properties.

Can I combine HEMC with other cellulose ethers in a single application?

Yes, HEMC can be combined with other cellulose ethers, such as HPMC or HEC, to achieve desired properties in a specific application. The compatibility and performance of combined products should be tested before use to ensure optimal results.

Can I use HEMC with different types of cement?

Yes, HEMC is compatible with various types of cement, including Portland cement, slag cement, and fly ash cement. Its benefits and performance may vary slightly depending on the cement type and formulation.

Is HEMC environmentally friendly?

HEMC is biodegradable and has minimal environmental impact during its use and disposal, making it an eco-friendly material.
