# ASTM D2364

Standard Test Methods for Hydroxyethylcellulose

[Back to all techniques](/analytical-techniques/)

## Significance and Use

5.1 The results of this test are used for calculating the total solids in the sample; and, by common usage, all materials volatile at this test temperature are designated as moisture.

5.2 Moisture analysis (along with sulfated ash) is a measure of the amount of active polymer in the material and must be considered when determining the amount of hydroxyethyl cellulose to use in various formulations.

## Scope

1.1 These test methods cover the testing of hydroxyethylcellulose.

1.2 The test procedures appear in the following order:

Sections

Moisture

4 – 9

Ash

10 – 17

Viscosity

18 – 23

Density

24 – 30

1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
