HEMC – What does HEMC stand for?

HEMC stands for Hydroxyethyl Methyl Cellulose. It is a type of cellulose ether, a polymer derived from cellulose, which is the main component of plant cell walls.

HEMC cellulose is a white, odorless, tasteless powder that is soluble in cold water.

It is used as a thickening agent, emulsifier, stabilizer, and suspending agent in a variety of products, including food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and industrial products. HEMC cellulose is also used as an additive in papermaking, as a binder in adhesives, and as a lubricant in printing inks.

HEMC is non-toxic, non-irritating, and non-allergenic, making it a safe and effective ingredient for many applications.
