Application

Hydroxyethyl Cellulose (4500-6500mPa·s, 2% in Water at 25°C) is a versatile, nonionic, water-soluble polymer primarily utilized for its thickening and stabilizing properties. Appearing as a white to grayish-white, odorless and tasteless, hygroscopic powder, it serves a crucial role in various formulations. In the pharmaceutical industry, it is widely employed as a thickening agent in ophthalmic and topical products, as well as a binder and film-coating agent for tablets. Its utility extends to cosmetics, where it enhances product texture and stability. Derived from wood pulp or chemical cotton through alkali treatment, Hydroxyethyl Cellulose's functionality in formulations is influenced by its molecular weight and the solvent used. It is a key component in lubricant preparations for addressing dry eye conditions, contact lens care, and dry mouth, offering reliable performance across diverse applications.
