Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (HEC) is a non-ionic, water-soluble polymer derived from cellulose. It is widely used as a thickening agent in pharmaceutical formulations, particularly in ophthalmic and topical applications, as well as in household cleaning products, lubricants, and cosmetics due to its emulsifying, water-retaining, and stabilizing properties.
NOKS Solutions Ltd supplies Hydroxyethyl Cellulose to manufacturers, water utilities, processors and laboratories across Kenya and the wider East African region. It sits in our paints and coatings range and is held ex-stock at our Nairobi warehouse on Enterprise Road, Industrial Area, so orders ship without waiting on an import cycle.
Typical applications include pharmaceutical formulations, household cleaning products, cosmetics, lubricants and artificial tear solutions. It is supplied as analytical/laboratory grade for testing and method work, ≥98%. If you are matching an existing specification, send it across and our applications chemists will confirm the grade before you order.
Hydroxyethyl Cellulose is available in 100 g, 500 g, 1 kg, and we repack to suit your handling setup. Every delivery carries the manufacturer Certificate of Analysis for the batch supplied together with a full Safety Data Sheet, and lot numbers stay traceable to the manufacturing run.
