Natural polymer "cellulose derivatives" (thickening, suspension stability, binder)
Ashland Inc.
Introducing "cellulose derivatives," natural functional polymers obtained from cellulose as a raw material.
Our company handles cellulose products manufactured by Ashland in the United States, and we leverage our extensive product knowledge and expertise to support our customers in improving manufacturing efficiency and quality. We introduce "cellulose derivatives," which are natural functional polymers obtained from cellulose as a raw material. 【Representative Products】 ■ Natrosol Series (Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (HEC)) ■ Natrosol HMHEC Series (Hydrophobic Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (HEC)) ■ Blanose Series (Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC)) ■ Klucel Series (Hydroxypropyl Cellulose (HPC)) ■ Aqualon EC Series (Ethyl Cellulose (EC)) ■ Culminal・Benecel Series (Methyl Cellulose (MC) / Methyl Hydroxypropyl Cellulose (MHPC) / Methyl Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (MHEC)) 【Representative Properties】 ■ Thickening ■ Suspension ■ Flow/Leveling ■ Water Retention ■ Colloidal Stabilization ■ Film Formation ■ Adhesive Strength ■ Binder ■ Stabilizer ■ Surfactant ■ Crystal Growth Improvement

basic information
【Representative Products】 ■ Natrosol Series (Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (HEC)) A nonionic water-soluble polymer that easily dissolves in cold and hot water. ■ Natrosol HMHEC Series (Hydrophobic Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (HEC)) A water-soluble polymer modified with long-chain alkyl groups to be hydrophobic. ■ Blanose Series (Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC)) A nonionic water-soluble polymer. ■ Klucel Series (Hydroxypropyl Cellulose (HPC)) A nonionic polymer that can dissolve in cold water and polar organic solvents. ■ Aqualon EC Series (Ethyl Cellulose (EC)) A non-water-soluble polymer that dissolves in a wide range of organic solvents. ■ Culminal・Benecel Series (Methyl Cellulose (MC) / Methyl Hydroxypropyl Cellulose (MHPC) / Methyl Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (MHEC)) A nonionic polymer soluble in cold water. It is a nonionic polymer soluble in cold water and can also dissolve in organic solvents depending on the degree of substitution.

Applications/Examples of results
【Representative Uses】 ■ Natrosol Series The aqueous solution is transparent and exhibits various viscosities depending on the grade, with a tendency for higher viscosity grades to have higher TI values. The R type, which is a dispersion-enhancing type, is the basic model, and the B type, which is resistant to enzymatic degradation, is also available in the lineup. ■ Natrosol HMHEC Series This series has a stronger thixotropic property than regular HEC. In paint applications, it contributes to excellent anti-spattering and leveling properties. ■ Blanose Series A lower degree of substitution (DS) of carboxymethyl groups on hydroxyl groups tends to result in stronger thixotropic properties, while a higher DS tends to result in weaker properties. Its main functions include thickening, suspension stability, and as a binder. ■ Klucel Series Various viscosity grades are available based on molecular weight. ■ Aqualon EC Series Due to its viscosity and low ash content, EC is widely used in the electronics field. ■ Culminal・Benecel Series These are used as extrusion aids for ceramics and various rheology modifiers. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.
