Paint is a chemical mixture that can be firmly covered on the surface of objects to protect, decorate, and other special purposes. Hydroxyethyl cellulose is a non-ionic polymer that can be dissolved in cold or hot water to form a colorless and transparent solution. HEC cellulose is a common additive in coatings. With the suspension, thickening, adhesion, dispersion, emulsification, film formation, water retention, protective colloid, salt-resistance, and other properties.
