hydroxy cellulose

Hydroxyethyl cellulose is a non-ionic, water soluble, modified cellulose polymer used as a thickening agent for aqueous cosmetic and personal care formulations. Hydroxyethyl cellulose is a polysaccharide derivative with gel thickening, emulsifying, bubble-forming, water-retaining and stabilizing properties. It is used as a key ingredient in many household cleaning products, lubricants and cosmetics due to its non-ionic and water-soluble nature. It is often used as an ingredient in ophthalmic pharmaceutical preparations such as artificial tear solutions and adjunct agent in topical drug formulations to facilitate the delivery of drugs with hydrophobic character.

Storage Conditions:

Hydroxyethyl cellulose powder is a stable though hygroscopicmaterial.
Aqueous solutions of hydroxyethyl cellulose are relatively stableat pH 2–12 with the viscosity of solutions being largely unaffected.However, solutions are less stable below pH 5 owing to hydrolysis.At high pH, oxidation may occur.
Increasing the temperature reduces the viscosity of aqueoushydroxyethyl cellulose solutions. However, on cooling, the originalviscosity is restored. Solutions may be subjected to fre
