Hydroxyethyl cellulose is a gelling and thickening agent derived from cellulose. It is widely used in cosmetics, cleaning solutions, and other household products. [1] . Hydroxyethyl cellulose and methyl cellulose are frequently used with hydrophobic drugs in capsule formulations, to improve the drugs' dissolution in the gastrointestinal fluids.

Hydroxyethylcellulose is a non-ionic, water soluble polymer used as a thickening agent for aqueous cosmetic and personal care formulations. It will produce crystal clear gel products and thicken the aqueous phase of cosmetic emulsions. It can be also be used to efficiently thicken shampoos, body washes and shower gels.

2018年11月20日 · A water soluble thickening agent that creates beautiful crystal clear gels without the tacky skin feel of other gums. 0.1–3% (you could use more, but it would be very thick!) Why do we use it in formulations? It provides fantastic gel-like thickening without the snottiness of gums like xanthan and guar.

HEC gel, sometimes called the “Universal Placebo Gel” contains hydroxyethyl cellulose as the gel thickener, purified water, sodium chloride, sorbic acid and sodium hydroxide (Tien et al., 2005). The gel is isotonic and formulated at a pH of 4.4 to avoid disrupting the normal vaginal pH and has minimal buffering capacity to avoid the ...

2024年9月24日 · Hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) is a water-soluble, non-ionic cellulose ether derived from the etherification of cellulose with ethylene oxide. Notably, it possesses unique properties that make it suitable for various applications: Solubility and Viscosity: HEC dissolves in both hot and cold water, forming clear, viscous solutions.

Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (HEC) forms a non-ionic gel without the effect of electrolyte, suitable for formulations containing electrolyte. Please use to create gel texture in cleaning formula (shampo, liquid soap).

2022年1月1日 · This study was aimed to develop hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC)-based gel containing metronidazole (MTZ) loaded in solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs), and to enhance the antimicrobial activity of MTZ. SLNs were prepared using a combination method of solvent evaporation and hot homogenization.

2022年1月1日 · Moreover, the MTZ-loaded SLNs-based HEC gel (equivalent to 1% of MTZ, w / w) exhibited a sustained in vitro drug release pattern, optimal ex vivo permeability, and enhanced in vitro antimicrobial activity after 24 h of treatment.

NEW PRICING - Hydroxethyl Cellulose (HEC) is an excellent thickening agent for cosmetic and personal care formulations. This nonionic, water soluble polymer offers efficient and cost-effective options for making crystal clear gel products.

Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (HEC) creates a non-ionic gel texture without the effects of electrolyte. Suitable for use in creating gel textures in formulas containing electrolyte. Please use it to create a gel texture in cleaning formulas (shampo, liquid soap). We recommend using HPMC because it can help increase foam. Specifications
