Hydroxyethyl Cellulose(HEC) is a non-ionic,water-soluble polymer derived form cellulose through a series of chemical and physical processes.HEC is a white to light yellowish,odorless and tasteless powder,readily soluble in hot or cold water to form a viscous gel solution.When pH in solution 2 to 12,the solution is quite stable.Since HEC group is nonionic one in water solution, it won't be reacted with other anions or cations and insensitive to the salts.
