Hydroxyethyl Cellulose - 250 Gm (8.81 Oz), Pure Hydroxyethyl Cellulose Powder, Hydroxyethyl Cellulose-Based Lubricants, Hydroxyethyl Cellulose Bulk, Hydroxyethyl Cellulose for Paints, HEC

I really like this product, but it took a little tweaking. The first time I did it it just clumped together in a solid mass down at the bottom of my beaker, I threw it out. The second time I did it, I started about every 15 minutes and once I noticed it started getting a little , then I used an immersion blender and blended it. And then once it was fully set, I was able to add a little bit of oil, a little bit of fragrance and blended it again and it did great. The third time I did it, I used aloe vera juice in place of water. This one took longer to come to gel , as a matter of fact, it would not come to the gel phase until I heated it up. I had to heat it to about roughly 100° had to do that twice for it to get thick. but once it did and I use the immersion blender, this one was actually my favorite one as a finished product.

Having never used this before, let me tell you, it took a second to get a handle on how much I needed for the volume I needed it in. I definitely had a batch that was supposed to be like a jelly of paste consistency and it became just a solid mass. I like it though and it has been useful for a number of things.

I purchased this polymer for giant bubble making and was not disappointed! For the price, it comes with so much polymer, and it's in a very high quality container and I love the ingredient itself, it works and acts just like HEC and is nice and high quality. It has helped me make some of my biggest bubbles! I am so glad I bought this!

It’s exactly as described! Very easy to open and scoop exact amounts. In our formulations it works great! Dissolves readily in hot or cold water and thickens up very quickly!

While this product can be used for a variety of diy projects and i'm figuring out what else i can do with it. My primary use for these was for fun with bubbles. Takes a long time to get everything dialed in due to water and ratio mixtures, but once that was figured out i can create some large bubbles. Now it's more matter of practice to be consistant, as i'm still all over the place. It's allot of fun though and a nice afternoon craft project to do with kids.

I have been making big bubbles for more than 30 years. And I am constantly looking for the right blend of polymers to combine with dish detergent and water to produce monster bubbles, ten feet in diameter. Hydroxyethyl cellulose (or HEC as we call it) is one of those polymers that experienced bubbleologists rely on as their primary or secondary polymer. It doesn’t take much, maybe a couple grams per gallon of water, and 6-8 ounces of a good detergent (Dawn Ultra works well). I use a magnetic mixer to hydrate the HEC in a liter of water to avoid clumping. Then refrigerate it to use in your final mix. Lots of great recipes and info at SoapBubble Wiki on Facebook.

This product works as intended. I tested it out by making a 2% concentration with water. It gelled up as expected and absorbed cleanly on my skin without leaving any residue.It helps to mix continuously as it sets or the powder can settle, causing the bottom to thicken more than the top. This can be resolved by...mixing it, so it won't ruin your product, just create more work.

This works as intended and we used it for some paper art and craft projects, and it worked like a charm. The formula is fast-setting and doesn’t dry out quickly, even when left in a container with a cap. It’s also acid-free, which makes it ideal for preserving my work. Highly recommend for anyone into arts and crafts!
