About Natrosol Hydroxyethylcellulose

Natrosol Hydroxyethylcellulose

Chemistry: Cellulosics

INCI: Hydroxyethylcellulose

Nature-derived, efficient thickening

Sustainably-derived from cellulose, Natrosol HEC products are water-soluble, non-ionic polymers that can be used in a variety of personal care applications. Our cellulose is sourced from suppliers that have active sustainability programs and have implemented zero deforestation business practices. Natrosol HEC products are efficient thickeners and due to its non-ionic character, Natrosol HEC has high salt tolerance and is compatible with most commonly used surfactants, enabling optical clarity in formulations.

Ashlands suppliers have made commitments to utilize standards set by such organizations as the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). The standards include forest management and chain of custody certifications. In addition, our suppliers are sourcing fibers from suppliers that are PEFC (Program for the Endorsement of Forest Certification) certified. Both of these standards assure consumers that product can be traced back to an FSC- or PEFC-certified source.

Outstanding Thickening and Stabilizing Capabilities

Natrosol Hydroxyethylcellulose offers consistent viscosity and superior stability in formulations, ensuring products maintain their desired texture and uniformity. Its high purity and reliable performance make it especially valuable as a thickener and stabilizer in paints, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.

Wide Range of Industrial Applications

Safe Handling and Long-Term Storage

Natrosol Hydroxyethylcellulose is easy to handle and store. To maintain product integrity and efficacy, it should be stored in a cool, dry place with tightly sealed packaging. Its 24-month shelf life ensures long-lasting quality in warehouse conditions.

FAQs of Natrosol Hydroxyethylcellulose:

Q: How should Natrosol Hydroxyethylcellulose be stored to maintain its quality?

A: Natrosol Hydroxyethylcellulose should be kept in a cool, dry environment with the container tightly closed. This prevents moisture absorption and ensures the powders stability and usability throughout its 24-month shelf life.

Q: What are the main benefits of using Natrosol Hydroxyethylcellulose in industrial applications?

A: Natrosol Hydroxyethylcellulose acts as an effective thickener, stabilizer, and water retention agent. It imparts excellent viscosity control, improves product texture, and provides consistency, making it valuable in products like paints, cosmetics, adhesives, and pharmaceuticals.

Q: When should Natrosol Hydroxyethylcellulose be added during the manufacturing process?

A: It is typically introduced during the hydration or blending stage, either into cold or hot water. Proper dispersion at this stage ensures optimal thickening, stability, and uniformity in the final product.

Q: Where is Natrosol Hydroxyethylcellulose predominantly used?

A: This product finds primary use in industrial formulations including paints, coatings, personal care products, adhesives, pharmaceuticals, and construction materials. Its wide applicability stems from its solubility and functional versatility.

Q: How does Natrosol Hydroxyethylcellulose enhance water retention in formulations?

A: Its molecular structure allows it to bind water efficiently, reducing evaporation and improving the workability of mixtures such as paints or cementitious products. This leads to extended open time and increased performance of the final application.

Q: What are the usage recommendations for Natrosol Hydroxyethylcellulose?

A: It is recommended to disperse the powder into water gradually under moderate agitation to prevent clumping. Solutions can be prepared using either cold or hot water, depending on the manufacturing setup and end-use requirements.
