Carboxymethyl cellulose is the Sodium salt of Carboxymethyl Cellulose,usually briefed as CMC. It is natural hydrocolloids produced from natural fibers, e.g. wood or cotton linters. The process of adding carboxymethyl cellulose group into the cellulose chain,which makes the cellulose soluble. It is non-toxic,environmental-friendly naturally derived hydrocolloids.
CMC is white or light yellowish odorless powder or granular.It is soluble in cold or hot water into clarified solution. CMC is multi-functional ingredient used in broad applications to provide viscosity ,rheology control,moisture retention control,suspension solids,film forming,binding agent,etc in water based system,functions as thickener and binder in numbers of applications include food,pharm.toothpaste,paper making,textile,ceramic,oilfield,mining and batteries.
