Description
CELLOSIZE QP 300 hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) is a medium-low molecular weight cellulosic polymer used
as both a protective colloid and a latex paint thickener. In the emulsion polymerization of vinyl and acrylic
monomers to produce latexes for architectural coatings, the typical use level of CELLOSIZE QP 300 HEC in
latex synthesis is 2% by weight (based on total monomers) in vinyl and vinyl-acrylic latex formulations
(usually less in all-acrylic formulations). The nearly Newtonian behavior of aqueous solutions of CELLOSIZE QP 300
HEC make it an ideal thickener in premium quality latex paints, giving paints with good flow and leveling
characteristics. The typical use levels of CELLOSIZE QP 300 HEC in latex paints are between 5 and 8 pounds
per 100 gallons. CELLOSIZE QP 300 HEC is also used in cement as a fluid loss additive.
