High-viscosity, low-shear-thinning hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) offering excellent thickening efficiency in aqueous systems.
Enhanced water retention and film-forming capability for improved performance in cementitious and coating applications.
Excellent compatibility with electrolytes, surfactants, and common industrial additives without significant viscosity loss.
Consistent batch-to-batch rheological performance due to stringent Ashland manufacturing controls and purification.
Non-ionic nature ensures stability across broad pH range (pH 2–12) and minimal sensitivity to metal ions.
Cement-based tile adhesives and self-leveling underlayments.
Water-based architectural paints and interior wall coatings.
Oilfield drilling fluids and completion fluids requiring viscosity control and fluid loss mitigation.
Pharmaceutical suspensions and topical gels where non-ionic, GRAS-compatible thickeners are required.
Industrial cleaning formulations including heavy-duty liquid detergents and hard-surface cleaners.
