Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) is a cellulose derivative that is used in various industrial applications, including the textile industry. In the textile industry, CMC is used as a sizing agent to improve the handling and processing of textiles.
CMC is a white, tasteless, and odorless powder that is soluble in water, forming a viscous solution. When added to textile fibers, it forms a protective layer around the fibers, reducing their tendency to break and increasing their strength. This makes the fibers easier to weave, dye, and finish, resulting in improved fabric quality and uniformity.
In addition to its use as a sizing agent, CMC is also used as a thickener and binder in textile printing pastes, and as a finishing agent to improve the hand, drapability, and wrinkle resistance of textiles.
It's worth mentioning that CMC is a synthetic, non-renewable material, and some people have concerns about its environmental impact. However, it is considered safe for use in textiles and other applications when used in accordance with the applicable regulations.
