Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC):

 

High-Performance Thickener & Stabilizer with Customizable Viscosity.

Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) is a versatile, water-soluble polymer derived from natural cellulose. Known as “Industrial MSG,” it is essential for controlling rheology, retaining water, and stabilizing emulsions across various industries.

We provide a full spectrum of viscosity grades to match your specific formulation requirements. (Viscosity measured at 1% solution, 25°C).

1. High Viscosity (HV Series)

  • Range: 5,000 – 10,000+ mPa.s

  • Characteristics: Maximum thickening power and superior water retention.

  • Applications: Oil drilling mud (fluid loss control), heavy-duty detergents, and construction adhesives.

2. Medium Viscosity (MV Series)

  • Range: 1,000 – 5,000 mPa.s

  • Characteristics: Balanced stabilizing and emulsifying properties.

  • Applications: Dairy beverages (protein stabilization), toothpaste (texture & ribbon stand), and textile sizing.

3. Low Viscosity (LV Series)

  • Range: 10 – 1,000 mPa.s

  • Characteristics: Excellent film-forming, high clarity, and low flow resistance.

  • Applications: Paper coating, fruit juices (mouthfeel enhancement), and pharmaceutical tablet binding.


 Key Technical Advantages

  • Rapid Solubility: Dissolves quickly in both cold and hot water into a clear, stable colloid.

  • Salt & pH Resistance: Maintains consistent viscosity even in high-electrolyte environments.

  • High Purity: Available in Food Grade (E466) and Pharmaceutical Grade with up to 99.5% purity.

  • Excellent Film-Forming: Creates a strong, transparent, and flexible film on surfaces.
