Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose
Classification : CMC
PRODUCT DETAILS

Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) is an anionic, water-soluble polymer compound obtained from natural cellulose through chemical modification. It possesses excellent thickening, stabilizing, water-retaining, suspending, emulsifying, and film-forming properties, forming a transparent colloidal solution in water. CMC is a green, safe, and biodegradable functional polymer material widely used in food, daily chemicals, pharmaceuticals, oil drilling, and papermaking industries.
Packaged in 25kg bags, custom packaging is available.

Product Application

Main Application Areas
1. Food Industry (Food-grade CMC)
Used as a thickener, stabilizer, colloidal protectant, and emulsifier to improve food texture and mouthfeel, and prevent separation and crystallization. Applications: Beverages, jams, sauces, ice cream, pasta products, etc., to enhance food stability and moisture retention.
2. Daily Chemicals and Personal Care
Used as a thickener, suspending agent, and humectant, commonly used in toothpaste, shampoo, detergents, face masks, and skin creams to enhance product viscosity and uniformity, and improve skin feel.
3. Pharmaceutical Industry
Used as a tablet binder, drug suspending agent, and matrix material. Medical-grade CMC can be used in artificial tears, eye drops, and medicated films, exhibiting good biocompatibility and non-irritating properties.
4. Oil Drilling and Production Industry
Used as a drilling fluid thickener and mud filtration reducer to improve drilling fluid stability and sand-carrying capacity.
5. Paper and Coating Industry:
Used as a sizing agent, reinforcing agent, and dispersant to improve paper surface strength, smoothness, and printability.
6. Ceramics, Textiles, and Building Materials:
Used as a binder, water-retaining agent, dispersant, and plasticizer to improve material workability and product uniformity.
