(hydroxyethylcellulose powder)
A: Hydroxyethylcellulose powder is a water-soluble polymer used as a thickener, stabilizer, and binder in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and industrial products like paints. It enhances viscosity and improves texture in formulations. Common applications include lotions, eye drops, and adhesives.
A: Natrosol is a brand name for hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC) produced by Ashland, offering specific grades optimized for performance in industries like personal care. It shares the same base chemical structure but may have tailored purity or viscosity profiles. Always check technical specifications for application suitability.
A: Bulk hydroxyethylcellulose is available through chemical suppliers, industrial distributors, or manufacturers specializing in cellulose derivatives. Ensure suppliers provide certificates of analysis (CoA) for quality assurance. Pricing often decreases with larger order volumes.
A: Yes, hydroxyethylcellulose powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for topical use in skincare, acting as a non-irritating thickener. Always adhere to recommended concentrations (typically 0.1%-2%). Patch testing is advised for sensitive formulations.
A: Yes, hydroxyethylcellulose powder disperses and hydrates in both cold and hot water, though slower in cold. Pre-mixing with other dry ingredients or using high-shear mixing can improve dissolution. Avoid lump formation by gradual addition during stirring.
