Industrial Grade HEC Questions
How is the dosage decided for a tile adhesive?
It is set by the water retention and open time you need, then confirmed on your own sand and cement. Send us the recipe and we will propose a starting grade and dose for testing.
Does it work in gypsum as well as cement?
Yes. In gypsum it retains water, improves lubrication and gives a slowing effect that solves drumming and early strength problems during application.
Are you a manufacturer or a trading company?
We are a manufacturer and you are welcome to visit the plant. Our hydroxyethyl cellulose project runs at 5000 tonnes a year on an acetone countercurrent washing process.
What payment terms do you accept?
L/C, T/T, D/A, D/P, PayPal and Western Union. We have worked with China Export and Credit Insurance Corporation for many years.
