Ashland high-efficiency Natrosol™ Plus 550, its newest hydrophobically modified hydroxyethylcellulose for architectural paints and coatings

In response to market needs, Natrosol Plus 550 HMHEC was specifically developed to offer improved thickening efficiency over Natrosol Plus 330 HMHEC and other HMHECs on the market. In a majority of benchmarked architectural paint formulations around the world, Natrosol Plus 550 HMHEC delivered a 10-20% improvement in efficiency, allowing formulators to reduce the dosage of cellulosic thickener required to achieve target Stormer (KU) viscosity. This means very significant cost-in-use improvements are achievable in virtually all common latex resin chemistries

Successful new products and loyal consumers can mean increased profits for paint manufacturers – and that’s a good feeling.
