Features Of Ashland Natrosol 250H4BR Hydroxyethyl Cellulose

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

  2. Non-ionic character ensures compatibility with a broad range of electrolytes, surfactants, and pH conditions (pH 2–12).

  3. Offers outstanding suspension stability for insoluble particles and pigments in demanding formulations.

  4. Provides smooth, non-tacky film formation with good adhesion and substrate wetting properties.

  5. Free-flowing, easy-to-disperse powder with low dust generation and consistent batch-to-batch performance.

Typical Applications Of Ashland Natrosol 250H4BR Hydroxyethyl Cellulose

  1. Architectural coatings — interior and exterior paints requiring sag resistance and spatter control.

  2. Construction mortars and tile adhesives — enhancing water retention, workability, and open time.

  3. Personal care formulations — gels, shampoos, and body washes where mildness and clarity are critical.

  4. Pharmaceutical suspensions and topical gels — serving as a GRAS-listed, non-ionic viscosity modifier.

  5. Industrial cleaning products — stabilizing surfactant systems and improving soil suspension.
