Ashland NATROSOL PLUS Modified HEC Waterborne Thickener

Ashland NATROSOL PLUS Modified HEC Waterborne Thickener is a high-performance, rheology-modifying hydroxyethyl cellulose derivative engineered for superior water retention, sag resistance, and shear-thinning behavior in architectural coatings and industrial waterborne systems. It delivers consistent viscosity build, excellent compatibility with surfactants and pigments, and enhanced open time without compromising dry-film integrity or scrub resistance.

Features Of Ashland NATROSOL PLUS Modified HEC Waterborne Thickener

  1. Enhanced rheology control with superior sag resistance in vertical applications.

  2. Improved compatibility with anionic and nonionic surfactants in waterborne systems.

  3. Reduced sensitivity to electrolytes and pH fluctuations compared to standard HEC.

  4. Excellent film formation and low foam generation during high-shear mixing.

  5. Consistent thickening performance across broad temperature ranges (5–40 °C).

Typical Applications Of Ashland NATROSOL PLUS Modified HEC Waterborne Thickener

  1. Architectural paints and interior/exterior latex coatings.

  2. Water-based wood stains and clear finishes.

  3. Industrial maintenance coatings and protective primers.

  4. Tile grouts and cementitious repair mortars.

  5. Waterborne adhesives and construction sealants.
