Safety notes
The data presented above is in accordance with the present state of our knowledge, but doesn’t absolve the user from carefully checking it all immediately on receipt. We reserve the right to alter product constantly within the scope of technical progress or new developments. The recommendations made above should be checked by preliminary trials because of conditions during processing over which we have no control of, especially where other companies' raw materials are also being used.
The working mechanism of methyl hydroxyethyl cellulose, MHEC (Mw = 2.5 · 105 g/mol, DSmethyl = 1.81, MShydroxyethyl = 0.15) as water retention agent in cement was investigated. First, the hydrocolloid was characterized and its performance as non-ionic water retention agent was determined employing the filter paper test. Also, water sorption and swelling of individual MHEC fibers under conditions of different humidities were monitored by ESEM imaging. Second, its working mechanism was established. It was found that at low dosages, MHEC achieves water retention by intramolecular sorption of water and concomitant swelling while at higher dosages, MHEC molecules agglomerate into large hydrocolloidal microgel particles (d > 1 μm) which effectively plug the pores in the mortar matrix. MHEC association was evidenced by an exponential increase in solution viscosity as concentration rises, a strong increase in the hydrodynamic diameter of solved MHEC molecules, and a noticeable reduction of surface tension.

What is TYLOSE MH 60027 P6?
TYLOSE MH 60027 P6 is also named as methyl hydroxyethyl cellulose (MHEC). It is a white, grayish-white, or yellowish-white granules.
It is a non-ionic cellulose ether derived from the addition of ethylene oxide to methylcellulose. It is produced from a natural renewable polymer such as wood pulp or cotton.
TYLOSE MH 60027 P6 can be used as a highly efficient water retention agent, adhesives and film-forming agent, stabilizer, etc.
It is widely used in different industrial applications such as oil drilling, construction, and building, paint and coating, pharmaceutical, etc.
TYLOSE MH 60027 P6 can be modified according to customers’ requirement and still have its good anti-sagging property and good workability after modification.
Characteristics of TYLOSE MH 60027 P6
TYLOSE MH 60027 P6 has various features. They include:
1. Appearance
TYLOSE MH 60027 P6 can be either white, pale yellow or yellowish-white, or grayish-white. It is also odorless.
2. Solubility
TYLOSE MH 60027 P6 is soluble in water (cold or hot water). Although TYLOSE MH 60027 P6 is insoluble in the most organic solvent but soluble in a binary organic solvent and organic solvent water system.
Its highest concentration depends on the viscosity and its solubility varies with viscosity. The lower the viscosity, the greater the solubility and vice versa.
3. PH stability
TYLOSE MH 60027 P6 is stable within the range of 3.0 – 11.0 and its viscosity is hardly affected but a PH value out of this range will decrease its viscosity.
4. Metabolism
TYLOSE MH 60027 P6 is an inert substance and its odorless. It is widely used in food and medicine applications due to its inability to undergo metabolism.
5. Surface Activity
It can be used as a dispersant, protective agent, and emulsifier due to its surface-active function in an aqueous solution.
6. Mildew Resistance
In the long term storage, TYLOSE MH 60027 P6 is a good mildew resistance due to its good viscosity stability.
Its mildew resistance capacity is higher than the hydroxyethyl cellulose.
7. Water Retention
TYLOSE MH 60027 P6 serves as an effective water retention agent due to its high viscosity in aqueous solution.
Its water retention capacity is greater than the methylcellulose.
8. Ash Content
Hot water washing is used in the preparation process of TYLOSE MH 60027 P6, thereby making the ash content very low.
9. Thermal Gel
When the TYLOSE MH 60027 P6 solution is being heated to a certain temperature, it becomes less transparent with the formation of precipitate and gel but if cooled, it goes back to its original state of solution.
Common Uses of TYLOSE MH 60027 P6
TYLOSE MH 60027 P6 can be used as:
Ø Adhesive
Ø Protective colloid
Ø Thickening agent
Ø Film-forming agent
Ø Emulsifier
Ø Lubricant
Ø Suspending agent
