Product Description

Natrosol HEC Chemistry: Cellulosics INCI: Hydroxyethyl Cellulose

Nature-derived, efficient thickening

Sustainably-derived from cellulose, Natrosol HEC products are water-soluble, non-ionic polymers that can be used in a variety of personal care applications. Our cellulose is sourced from suppliers that have active sustainability programs and have implemented zero deforestation business practices. Natrosol HEC products are efficient thickeners and due to its non-ionic character, Natrosol HEC has high salt tolerance and is compatible with most commonly used surfactants, enabling optical clarity in formulations.

Versatile Applications

Natrosol HEC is extensively used as a thickener, stabilizer, and rheology modifier in a wide range of personal care and industrial products. Its non-ionic nature ensures compatibility across diverse formulations, from creams and lotions to paints and adhesives. With customizable grades and packaging, it suits manufacturers' specific requirements with ease.

Stable and User-Friendly

Hydroxyethylcellulose is renowned for its easy solubility in both cold and hot water, ensuring effortless dispersion during processing. Its stable viscosity and pH tolerance (2-12) make it suitable for maintaining consistent product textures and stability, even in demanding formulation environments.

Safe, Sustainable, and Compliant

Natrosol HEC is non-toxic, odorless, and non-irritant, making it suitable for sensitive applications such as cosmetics. It is biodegradable and meets stringent cosmetic and industrial regulatory standards, supporting eco-friendly and responsible manufacturing practices. Its long shelf life and easy storage further add to its convenience.

FAQ's of Natrosol HEC Chemistry: Cellulosics INCI: Hydroxyethylcellulose:

Q: How is Natrosol HEC used in cosmetic and industrial formulations?

A: Natrosol HEC acts as a thickener, stabilizer, and rheology modifier, helping to achieve desired viscosity and texture in cosmetic products like lotions, creams, and shampoos, as well as in paint, adhesive, and coating systems.

Q: What are the benefits of using Hydroxyethylcellulose in formulations?

A: Hydroxyethylcellulose offers excellent thickening and stabilizing properties, is easily soluble in water, remains stable across a wide pH range, is non-toxic, biodegradable, and non-irritant, making it ideal for both personal care and industrial applications.

Q: When should Natrosol HEC be added during the formulation process?

A: Natrosol HEC can be dispersed and dissolved in either cold or hot water at the beginning stages of formulation. It is essential to add it before other active ingredients for optimal hydration and uniform viscosity development.

Q: Where should Natrosol HEC be stored for maximum shelf life?

A: Store Natrosol HEC in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area in tightly closed containers. Proper storage conditions ensure a shelf life of up to two years and maintain product quality.

Q: What makes Natrosol HEC suitable for use in personal care products?

A: Its non-toxic, non-irritant, and odorless properties, as well as its compliance with relevant cosmetic regulations, make Natrosol HEC appropriate for sensitive skin and safe for use in a variety of personal care formulations.

Q: How is the viscosity of Natrosol HEC controlled or customized?

A: The viscosity of Natrosol HEC varies by grade and can be tailored by selecting specific mesh sizes or grades, typically ranging from 1,500 to 7,000 mPas for a 1% solution, depending on formulation requirements.

Q: What is the process for dissolving Natrosol HEC in water?

A: Gradually disperse the powder into cold or hot water under agitation to ensure complete solubilization and prevent clumping. Mixing until fully hydrated yields a uniform solution suitable for further formulation steps.
