Features Of Dow CELLOSIZE ER-52M Hydroxyethyl Cellulose

  1. Highly efficient thickener for aqueous systems with excellent pseudoplastic rheology.

  2. Outstanding compatibility with electrolytes, surfactants, and common co-solvents.

  3. Provides superior film-forming ability and improved wet adhesion in coatings and construction mortars.

  4. Non-ionic nature ensures stability across broad pH range (3–11) without gelation or precipitation.

  5. Easily dispersible with minimal clumping; supports rapid hydration in cold water.

Typical Applications Of Dow CELLOSIZE ER-52M Hydroxyethyl Cellulose

  1. Architectural paints and interior/exterior latex wall coatings.

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

  3. Water-based industrial maintenance coatings and protective primers.

  4. Construction grouts and repair mortars requiring extended workability.

  5. Personal care formulations such as shampoos and body washes where mild rheology control is required.
