Features Of Ashland NATROSOL 250HHR TYPE Hydroxyethylcellulose Thickener

  1. High hydroxyethyl substitution ensures excellent water solubility and rapid dispersion without lumping.

  2. Delivers exceptional rheological performance with strong pseudoplasticity and outstanding suspension capability.

  3. Provides superior thermal and enzymatic stability compared to standard HEC grades, maintaining viscosity over time.

  4. Compatible with a broad range of electrolytes, surfactants, and preservatives commonly used in industrial formulations.

  5. Non-ionic nature ensures minimal interaction with cationic or anionic ingredients, enhancing formulation robustness.

Typical Applications Of Ashland NATROSOL 250HHR TYPE Hydroxyethylcellulose Thickener

  1. Architectural coatings — interior and exterior latex paints requiring high-shear viscosity control and sag resistance.

  2. Industrial maintenance coatings — primers, enamels, and protective finishes demanding long-term storage stability.

  3. Tile adhesives and cement-based mortars — where water retention, workability, and open time extension are critical.

  4. Textile printing pastes — offering smooth ink flow, sharp pattern definition, and easy cleanup.

  5. Agrochemical suspensions — stabilizing active ingredients in aqueous formulations under varying pH and ionic conditions.
