TENESSY Cellulose Ether in Painting & Coatings
Cellulose ether plays a vital role in modern paint and coating formulations. It functions as a thickener, stabilizer, and rheology modifier to improve product consistency, application performance, and surface appearance.
In water-based paints and coatings, cellulose ether helps achieve smooth flow, better leveling, and uniform color distribution — ensuring an even, professional finish.

HEMC in Painting & Coatings
In paint and coating applications, HEMC acts as a thickener and rheology modifier.
It increases ICI viscosity and improves leveling, reducing surface tension to minimize splashing during application.
It also stabilizes pigment particles, preventing settling and agglomeration for a more uniform coating.
- Excellent thickening efficiency
- Smooth flow and leveling
- Enhanced color stability and pigment dispersion
- Reduced paint splashing during application
HEMC MET40
Suitable for water-based paints and inks.
HEMC MET60
Widely used in water-based paints and waterproof coatings.
HEMC MET80
Ideal for water-based paints and industrial coatings.
HEC in Painting & Coatings
HEC serves as a protective colloid and thickener in water-based latex paints. It improves the stability of vinyl acetate polymerization across a wide pH range, and ensures even dispersion of pigments and fillers in the final product. It is also suitable for use as a dispersant in polymer suspensions like styrene, acrylate, and acrylonitrile systems.
- Excellent thickening and stabilization
- Improved flow and leveling properties
- Broad pH stability
- Compatible with various emulsion systems
HEC HET30
Suitable for water-based paints, wall latex paints.
HEC HET50
Widely used in latex synthesis, and water-based coatings.
HEC HET100
Ideal for real stone paints, water-in-water multicolor coatings.
