Natrosol™ 250 MHBR

Natrosol™ 250 MHBR by Ashland is a non-ionic, water-soluble hydroxyethyl cellulose surface-treated with glyoxal. It is used as a high efficiency thickener, water retention aid and rheology modifier in all types of water-based paints and surface coatings. It offers very good pseudoplastic flow behavior and wide compatibility with other materials such as emulsion polymers, natural and synthetic gums, emulsifiers, defoamers, pigments, surfactants, and preservatives. Natrosol™ 250 MHBR shows fast dispersion and easier dissolving in water. It provides very good color acceptance, color development, and viscosity retention on tinting. It offers mechanical and chemical stability and controls rheology before, during and after application. It can be used as a protective colloid, stabilizer and suspending agent.
