Features Of Ashland NATROSOL 250GR TYPE Hydroxyethylcellulose Thickener

  1. High-viscosity, non-ionic thickener providing excellent pseudoplastic rheology and shear-thinning behavior.

  2. Outstanding water solubility with rapid hydration and minimal lump formation under moderate agitation.

  3. Excellent compatibility with common surfactants, electrolytes, and preservatives in aqueous formulations.

  4. Provides superior film-forming ability and improved sag resistance in vertical applications.

  5. Stable across a broad pH range (3–11) and tolerant to freeze-thaw cycling when properly formulated.

Typical Applications Of Ashland NATROSOL 250GR TYPE Hydroxyethylcellulose Thickener

  1. Architectural coatings — interior and exterior latex paints for viscosity control and brushability.

  2. Adhesives and construction mortars — tile adhesives, grouts, and cement-based repair compounds.

  3. Personal care products — shampoos, conditioners, and hand soaps requiring mild, non-irritating thickening.

  4. Household cleaners — liquid detergents, all-purpose cleaners, and disinfectant sprays.

  5. Industrial maintenance coatings — protective primers and anti-corrosion coatings.
