POLYSURF 67 cetyl hydroxyethylcellulose by Ashland Specialty Chemical acts as a thickener, binder, stabilizer, film-former, and as a suspension agent. It is a nonionic water-soluble polymer that contains both hydroxyethyl and long-chain alkyl groups. It is known to associate with the hydrophobic groups of surfactants and other formulation ingredients.

Klucel™ CS Grade is a nonionic, water-soluble cellulose ether with a versatile combination of properties. It combines solubility in aqueous and polar organic solvents, thermoplasticity, and surface activity with the thickening and stabilizing properties of other water-soluble cellulose polymers. HPC films are flexible without plasticizers and non-tacky at high humidity.
