Features Of Ashland Natrosol 250XBR Hydroxyethyl Cellulose

  1. High-viscosity, low-shear-thinning hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) offering excellent thickening efficiency in aqueous systems.

  2. Enhanced water retention and film-forming capability for improved performance in cementitious and coating applications.

  3. Excellent compatibility with electrolytes, surfactants, and common industrial additives without significant viscosity loss.

  4. Consistent batch-to-batch rheological performance due to stringent Ashland manufacturing controls and purification.

  5. Non-ionic nature ensures stability across broad pH range (pH 2–12) and minimal sensitivity to metal ions.

Typical Applications Of Ashland Natrosol 250XBR Hydroxyethyl Cellulose

  1. Cement-based tile adhesives and self-leveling underlayments.

  2. Water-based architectural paints and interior wall coatings.

  3. Oilfield drilling fluids and completion fluids requiring viscosity control and fluid loss mitigation.

  4. Pharmaceutical suspensions and topical gels where non-ionic, GRAS-compatible thickeners are required.

  5. Industrial cleaning formulations including heavy-duty liquid detergents and hard-surface cleaners.
