Product Overview

CELLOSIZE™ QP-300 PCG is a naturally derived, biodegradable hydroxyethyl cellulose thickener from Dow.

Suitable for low-viscosity formulations, it's ideal for fluid lotions and formulas with viscosities between 300-400 mPa·s. This low-molecular-weight rheology modifier offers excellent compatibility with various pH levels and surfactant types.
