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.
