Product Description

Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC)

Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC-Na) is an organic substance with the chemical formula [C6H7O2(OH)2OCH2COONa]n, which is a carboxymethylated derivative of cellulose and the most important ionic cellulose gum. It is typically produced as an anionic polymer compound through the reaction of natural cellulose with caustic soda and monochloroacetic acid, with molecular weights ranging from several thousand to over one million.

CMC-Na appears as a white fibrous or granular powder, is odorless and tasteless, exhibits hygroscopic properties, and readily disperses in water to form transparent colloidal solutions.

Key Benefits

Effective thickening agent
Superior emulsifying properties
Excellent binding capabilities
Forms transparent colloidal solutions

Target Industries & Applications

Food industry, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, detergents, paper making, textiles, ceramics, oil drilling, construction, and other industries requiring thickening, binding, emulsifying, stabilizing, and film-forming properties.
