Unlock Stability and Performance in Home Care Formulations
In the detergent and home care industry, formulation stability, user experience, and viscosity control are essential to product quality. Whether it's liquid laundry detergent, dishwashing gel, fabric softener, or surface cleaner — consistent texture, shelf stability, and pleasant application feel are non-negotiable.
Hehui Chemical's high-purity HPMC and HEMC are non-ionic cellulose ethers that act as efficient thickeners, stabilizers, and rheology modifiers. Widely used in surfactant-rich systems, they improve product appearance, flow behavior, and long-term consistency — even under extreme storage conditions.
Efficient Thickening Performance
Provides smooth, consistent viscosity across a broad pH range. Enables gel-like or creamy textures depending on formulation needs.
Excellent Salt Tolerance
Maintains stability in high electrolyte or surfactant systems such as liquid hand soaps or concentrated laundry liquids.
Improved Shelf Stability
Prevents phase separation, sedimentation, or viscosity drop over time — especially in liquid or gel products stored under varying temperatures.
Enhanced Consumer Experience
Gives products a luxurious feel, improves flow during pouring or pumping, and reduces drip or residue.
Non-Ionic & Biodegradable
Compatible with a wide range of active ingredients, including anionic, cationic, and non-ionic surfactants. Readily biodegradable and safe for skin contact.
Hehui's HPMC and HEMC are ideal for:
Liquid laundry detergents
Fabric softeners
Hand dishwashing liquids
Floor and surface cleaners
Liquid hand soaps
Toilet and bathroom cleaning gels

4. Perfect for sulfate-free or sensitive-skin formulations that demand safe, stable, and elegant viscosity control.
1. HEC is widely used as a cellulose ether thickener in dishwashing liquids to maintain clarity and provide excellent pourability.
2. HPMC enhances foaming control and ensures uniform texture and stability across a wide pH range.
3. These cellulose ether additives for detergents prevent ingredient separation and improve the product's shelf-life without additional stabilizers.
4. Ideal for concentrated and eco-labeled dishwashing formulations requiring consistent flow and user satisfaction.
1. HPMC and HEC for personal care are excellent natural-based thickeners used in moisturizing creams, facial gels, and body lotions.
2. They provide a non-greasy, smooth feel and act as water retention additives, helping to stabilize emulsions and improve skin hydration.
3. HPMC and HEC are highly compatible with common cosmetic actives, and they support clean-label, paraben-free product development.
4. Widely used in skincare brands seeking plant-derived rheology control agents that offer transparency, safety, and ease of use.
Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) is a non-ionic, water-soluble polymer derived from natural cellulose. At Hehui Chemical, we manufacture high-purity HPMC designed to meet the demanding needs of dry mix mortars, water-based paints, and household detergent formulations.
MHEC, also known as HEMC (Hydroxyethyl Methylcellulose), is a versatile cellulose ether widely used in construction materials and water-based Paint &coatings. As a modified cellulose ether, MHEC offers excellent water retention, thickening, and rheology control properties, making it a vital ingredient in products like tile adhesives, dry mix mortars, wall putty, gypsum plaster, and waterborne paints.
Hehui Hydroxyethyl Cellulose HEC Powder is a non-ionic, water-soluble cellulose ether designed to deliver excellent thickening, stabilization, and water retention across a wide range of industries. Made from high-purity natural cellulose, our HEC is ideal for water-based formulations in paints, coatings, construction materials, personal care products, and oilfield chemicals.
Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) is an anionic water-soluble polymer derived from refined cellulose. It is widely used as a thickener, stabilizer, binder, water retention agent, and film-forming agent.
