Ashland Natrosol HE 10K is a coating grade nonionic thickener in the hydroxyethyl cellulose series, tailored for architectural coatings, daily chemical products, building materials, oilfield chemistry, water-based inks and other scenarios. It is a white to off-white free-flowing powder with excellent cold water solubility and dispersibility, high viscosity provides efficient thickening and rheology control effects
High Viscosity & Efficient Thickening - Excellent thickening efficiency with high viscosity, strongly improve system consistency, balance suspension and stability
Cold Water Soluble & Easy Processing - Surface-treated powder, disperses in cold water without agglomeration, easy to add and improve production efficiency
Wide Range Stability & High Salt Resistance - Stable performance at pH2-12, resistant to high salt concentration, suitable for complex ionic water-based systems
Excellent Rheology Control - Pseudoplastic fluid characteristics, suitable for high-shear construction processes, good workability and anti-splashing
Architectural Coatings - Used in latex paints, interior and exterior wall putties to thicken and prevent sedimentation, improve the leveling and construction anti-splashing of coatings
Daily Chemical Products - Used in shampoos and body washes for high-viscosity thickening and foam stabilization, improve product texture and skin feel
Building Material Additives - Used in cement-based mortar and tile adhesive as water retaining agent and thickener, improve bonding strength and workability
Oilfield Chemistry - Used in drilling fluid as a viscosifier to improve sand carrying capacity and ensure the smooth progress of drilling construction
