Product Details

Product Overview: Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) Sodium

Description
Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) Sodium is an anionic, linear macromolecular substance.

Key Features

• Appearance: White or ivory fibrous powder.

• Properties: Fluid, tasteless (insipid), and non-toxic (innocuous).

• Solubility: Freely soluble in both cold and hot water, forming a transparent, sticky solution.

Applications and Grades

1. Food Grade

• Function: Acts as a thickener, stabilizer, water-retaining agent, and tenacity strengthener.

• Applications:

  • Dairy & Seasonings: Improves taste, thickens, and stabilizes.

  • Baked Goods & Instant Foods: Used in ice cream, bread, cake, biscuits, and instant noodles for molding, anti-fragmentation, and water retention.

2. Toothpaste Grade

• Function: Provides adhesion and molding efficiency.

• Benefits: Stabilizes toothpaste quality due to excellent compatibility with other ingredients.

3. Paint Grade

• Function: Acts as a high-quality thickener in waterborne systems.

• Benefits: Compatible with most surfactants and stabilizers; improves the rheological properties of the paint.

4. Mosquito-Repellent Incense Grade

• Function: Replaces elm wood powder as a binder.

• Benefits: Ensures even mixing, better formability, and a smoother surface. It improves toughness to prevent denting and cracking and is compatible with medicated components for better efficacy.

5. Paper Grade

• Function: Used as a paper gluing agent.

• Benefits: Provides high compactability and fine anti-ink osmosis. It controls color paste flow, increases paper strength, improves fold-resistance, and enhances stickiness in paper cellulose.

6. Ceramic Grade

• Function: Stabilizes the physical and chemical properties of glaze formulations.

• Benefits: Ensures uniform distribution of substituents with fewer gel granules. It is 100% combustible during firing (ensuring a clean glaze), improves glaze adhesion, and reduces cracking.

7. Tobacco Grade

• Function: Improves wet tack and film strength of tobacco.

• Benefits: Features high purity and fine particle size. It dissolves quickly, produces no foreign odor when burned, and leaves a grayish-white ash.

8. Oil Drilling Grade

• Function: A high-purity, high-efficiency slurrying and thickening agent.

• Benefits: Suitable for in-situ preparation with dry powder. It is resistant to salt, base, and moisture, making it compatible with sea water and saturated brine.

9. Medicine Grade

• Function: Used as a thickener, stabilizer, water-holding agent, and emulsifier.

• Applications:

  • Syrups: Thickeners and stabilizers.

  • Soft Pastes: Water-holding and dispersing agent.

  • Tablets: Assists in disintegration and controls medicine release.

  • Injections: Used as an emulsifying oil agent.

10. Textile Grade

• Function: Used as a sizing agent (replacing traditional starch paste) and printing material.

• Benefits:

  • Sizing: Reduces pollution during sizing/desizing and forms a membrane on the woof to reduce “drop woof” and breakage.

  • Dyeing: Improves hydrophilic and osmosis force, ensuring even dyeing and reducing color variation.

11. Detergent Grade

• Function: Prevents re-deposition of dirt on washed fabrics.

• Benefits: Effective at low concentrations (0.5–2%). It utilizes the static action between negatively charged dirt granules and CMC molecules to stabilize the washing liquid and prevent contamination.

12. Mining Grade

• Function: High-purity suspending agent.

• Benefits: Used in mining flotation to separate metals from impurities, helping to reduce environmental pollution.
