Carboxy Methyl Cellulose(CMC)

Carboxy Methyl Cellulose(CMC) is also named as Sodium Carboxy Methyl Cellulose,is easy soluble in both cold and hot water. It provides good properties of thickening, water retention, film-forming, rheology and lubricity, which enable CMC cover a wind range of applications like food, personal care products, industrial paints, ceramics, oil drilling, building materials etc. Carboxymethyl Cellulose(CMC), known as Cellulose gum, is a high-polymer cellulose ether obtained by chemically modifying natural cellulose. CMC is a white to off-white, odorless, and tasteless powder that is used in a variety of industries for its ability to thicken, bind, and stabilize products. Sodium CMC is produced by chemically modifying cellulose with chloroacetic acid, resulting in the addition of carboxymethyl groups (-CH2-COOH) to the cellulose backbone. This modification makes the resulting polymer more soluble in water, allowing it to form stable and viscous solutions.
