Tylose (Hydroxyethyl Cellulose)

Tylose (Hydroxyethyl Cellulose)

Tylose, commonly known as Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (HEC), is a highly functional additive used in the ceramics industry to improve the workability, consistency, and strength of ceramic materials. It acts as a binder, thickener, and stabilizer, making it a critical component in glazes, slips, and pastes. Tylose increases the plasticity of ceramic bodies and enhances the suspension properties of glazes, allowing for even application and a smooth, professional finish. Its water-retaining properties also contribute to better drying control and reduced cracking.

At System Star Industrial Products, we supply premium-quality Tylose optimized for ceramic production. Our product dissolves easily in water, mixes uniformly with other components, and remains stable under varying temperature and pH conditions. Whether you are working on large-scale industrial tile production or small-batch artisan ceramics, our Tylose delivers the performance you need to improve quality and reduce waste.

Applications

• Binder in Ceramic Slips – Provides cohesion and strength to unfired ceramic bodies.

• Thickener for Glazes – Controls viscosity for even glaze application and smooth coverage.

• Stabilizer – Maintains suspension of particles in glazes and slips, preventing settling.

• Water Retention – Improves drying time control and helps avoid cracking in drying stages.

• Application Aid – Enhances brushability and sprayability of glazes for better finish results.
