Ashland Natrosol HE 3KB is a personal care grade nonionic thickener in the hydroxyethyl cellulose series, tailored for personal care, architectural coatings, building materials, adhesives, ceramic glazes and other scenarios. It is a white to off-white free-flowing powder with excellent cold water solubility and dispersibility, the medium-low viscosity provides balanced thickening and rheology control effects,
Balanced Thickening & Rheology Control - Wide adaptability of medium-low viscosity, precisely regulate the rheological properties of the system, balance fluidity 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 & Electrolyte Resistance - Stable performance at pH2-12, resistant to medium salt concentration, suitable for complex ionic water-based systems
Excellent Compatibility & Adaptability - Highly compatible with nonionic/anionic surfactants, without affecting the original texture and performance of the system
Personal Care Products - Used in shampoos, body washes and hand sanitizers to thicken and stabilize foam, improve the rheology and skin feel of products
Architectural Coatings - Used in latex paints, interior and exterior wall coatings to thicken and prevent sagging, improve the leveling and constructability of coatings
Building Material Additives - Used in cement-based mortar as water retaining agent and thickener to improve the workability and bonding strength of mortar
Water-Based Adhesives - Used in various water-based adhesives to regulate rheological properties, prevent adhesive sagging and improve coating uniformity
