Features Of Ashland Natrosol 250R TYPE Hydroxyethyl Cellulose

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

  2. Outstanding salt tolerance and compatibility with common surfactants, electrolytes, and preservatives.

  3. Provides superior suspension stability for insoluble particles and pigments in liquid formulations.

  4. Offers excellent film-forming capability and improved surface adhesion in coating applications.

  5. Non-irritating and compliant with major cosmetic and pharmaceutical regulatory guidelines (e.g., USP/NF, EP).

Typical Applications Of Ashland Natrosol 250R TYPE Hydroxyethyl Cellulose

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

  2. Personal care products — shampoos, conditioners, and body washes requiring mild viscosity build and clarity retention.

  3. Pharmaceutical suspensions and topical gels — where controlled release and physical stability are critical.

  4. Industrial cleaning formulations — heavy-duty liquid detergents and disinfectants requiring suspension of actives and thixotropic flow.

  5. Ceramic tile adhesives and grouts — enhancing water retention, workability, and open time.
