Features Of Ashland Natrosol 250GR Hydroxyethyl Cellulose

  1. High-viscosity, water-soluble non-ionic polymer providing excellent thickening and rheology control in aqueous systems.

  2. Outstanding salt tolerance and compatibility with a broad range of surfactants, electrolytes, and preservatives.

  3. Provides superior film-forming ability and surface adhesion for enhanced suspension and stabilization performance.

  4. Non-irritating and widely accepted in personal care formulations meeting global regulatory requirements (e.g., USP/NF, EP).

  5. Consistent batch-to-batch performance due to Ashland’s stringent manufacturing controls and purification process.

Typical Applications Of Ashland Natrosol 250GR Hydroxyethyl Cellulose

  1. Shampoos and conditioners for viscosity build-up and improved foam stability.

  2. Body washes and liquid hand soaps requiring clarity, mildness, and efficient suspension of opacifiers or actives.

  3. Water-based architectural coatings and interior paints as a rheology modifier and anti-sag agent.

  4. Pharmaceutical suspensions and topical gels where pseudoplastic flow and bioadhesion are critical.

  5. Industrial cleaning formulations requiring high-shear thinning and soil suspension capability.
