Packaging, Storage, Safety Instructions of Tylose® HS 30000 YP2 CAS No. 9004-62-0

• Like all fine-particle organic substances, cellulose ethers constitute a dust explosion hazard. Dust formation and deposits must be kept to a minimum so that no ignitable dust/air mixtures can form. Ignition sources such as naked flames, hot surfaces, sparks and static electricity should be avoided. Tylose starts to decompose at about 200°C. Its ignition temperature is >360°C. Tylose burns easily and the fire may spread.

• When stored in closed containers, or in its original packaging in a dry place at room temperature, Tylose can be kept for a long time. In the case of high viscosity grades,a slow loss of viscosity can be measured after lengthy storage (>1 year). Tylose absorbs water from moist air. Once opened, container must be resealed and kept tightly closed.

• This Tylose-type is supplied in multi-ply paper bags with polyethylene intermediate layer and/or in big bags.

Tylose® HS 30000 YP2 – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary functional role of Tylose® HS 30000 YP2 in formulations?

A: Tylose® HS 30000 YP2 is a high-viscosity, non-ionic hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) derivative designed primarily as a rheology modifier and thickener. It provides excellent water retention, pseudoplastic flow behavior, and stable viscosity build-up in aqueous systems without requiring pH adjustment or neutralization.

Q2: Is Tylose® HS 30000 YP2 compatible with common preservatives and other additives used in personal care or industrial applications?

A: Yes, Tylose® HS 30000 YP2 demonstrates broad compatibility with typical cosmetic preservatives (e.g., parabens, isothiazolinones), surfactants, electrolytes, and most water-soluble active ingredients. However, compatibility testing under actual formulation conditions—including shear history and storage temperature—is recommended for critical applications.

Q3: How should Tylose® HS 30000 YP2 be dispersed to avoid agglomeration or fisheyes?

A: For optimal dispersion, it is recommended to pre-mix the powder with a water-miscible liquid (e.g., glycerin or propylene glycol) or add it gradually under high-shear mixing into the aqueous phase. Direct addition to cold water without agitation often leads to surface hydration and clumping; gentle heating (up to 50 °C) may accelerate full hydration once dispersion is achieved.

Q4: Does Tylose® HS 30000 YP2 offer any performance advantages over standard HEC grades in high-shear or long-term stability applications?

A: Compared to conventional HEC types, Tylose® HS 30000 YP2 delivers enhanced resistance to mechanical degradation during processing and improved viscosity retention over extended storage—particularly in formulations exposed to repeated pumping, homogenization, or ambient temperature cycling.
