I-Hydroxyethyl methyl cellulose(HEMC) yipolymer enyibilikayo emanzini esetyenziswa ngokuqhelekileyo njenge-thickener, agent agent, kunye ne-adhesive. Ifunyanwa ngokusabela kweekhemikhali ze-methyl cellulose kunye ne-vinyl chloride alcohol. I-HEMC inokunyibilika okulungileyo kunye nokuhamba, kwaye isetyenziswa ngokubanzi kwiinkalo ezifana neengubo ezisekelwe emanzini, izinto zokwakha, iingubo, iimveliso zokunyamekela, kunye nokutya.
Kwiingubo ezisekelwe emanzini, i-HEMC inokudlala indima ekugxininiseni kunye nokulawulwa kwe-viscosity, ukuphucula ukuhamba kunye nokusebenza kwengubo yokugqoka, okwenza kube lula ukuyifaka nokusebenzisa. Kwizixhobo zokwakha,I-MHEC yokutyebisaisetyenziswa ngokuqhelekileyo kwiimveliso ezifana nodaka olomileyo oluxubeneyo, udaka lwesamente,i-ceramic tile adhesive, njl. Inokwandisa ukunamathela kwayo, ukuphucula ukuhamba, kunye nokuphucula ukuxhathisa kwamanzi kunye nokuqina kwezinto.
