Lubricants hydroxyethyl cellulose

Hydroxyethyl cellulose is a nonionic, water-soluble polymer widely used in pharmaceutical formulations. It is primarily used as a thickening agent in ophthalmic and topical formulations, although it is also used as a binder and film-coating agent for tablets. It is present in lubricant preparations for dry eye, contact lens care, and dry mouth. ... 

To affect the feel or hand of fabrics, finishes increase or decrease the natural friction between the fibers. Thus lubricants make the fabrics feel softer or have increased pliability. On the other hand, antislip finishes such as rosin, carbomethyl cellulose, and hydroxyethyl cellulose impart a harsh feel to the fabric.
