HEC cellulose is a type of cellulose ether that is used in a variety of applications. It is a water-soluble polymer that is used as a thickening agent, stabilizer, and emulsifier in many products. It is also used in the food industry as a stabilizer and emulsifier in ice cream, salad dressings, and sauces. HEC cellulose is also used in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries as a stabilizer and emulsifier in creams, lotions, and ointments.
The usage rate of HEC cellulose varies depending on the application and the desired effect. Generally, it is used in concentrations of 0.1-2.0%. For food applications, the usage rate is typically 0.1-0.5%, while for pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications, the usage rate is typically 0.5-2.0%. In some cases, higher concentrations may be used, but this should be done with caution as it can affect the product’s stability and shelf life. Additionally, the usage rate may need to be adjusted depending on the other ingredients in the formulation.
