Detergent Application

Cellulose ethers are widely used in various products such as detergents and personal care items.

HPMC/CMC/HEC

01Hydroxypropyl MethylCellulose (HPMC)

The Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose D Series is a specially customised, high-purity HPMC. Selected from premium raw materials and manufactured through bespoke production processes to meet the thickening and purity requirements of the cosmetics and personal care sector, it exhibits the following characteristics:

  • High molecular weight, concentrated and uniformly substituted, delivering exceptional thickening efficiency;
  • High purity with low ash content, offering outstanding transparency;
  • Uniform surface treatment and rational particle size distribution, ensuring rapid dispersion.

02Sodium CarboxymethylCellulose(CMC)

Sodium CarboxymethylCellulose is the most effective active additive for synthetic detergents, primarily functioning to prevent the redeposition of soiling. Firstly, it inhibits the deposition of inorganic salts from heavy metals; secondly, it suspends and disperses soiling particles released into the aqueous solution during washing, thereby preventing their redeposition onto fabrics.

03Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (HEC)

Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (HEC) is non-ionic water-soluble polymer, it is effective in thickening, bonding, emulsifying, dispersing, stabilizing and water retention, forming film and providing protective colloid effect. It is very easily soluble not only in cold water, but also in hot water, and can provide solutions with wider range of viscosity.
