The art and science of ceramics have always relied on precise material formulations to achieve desired aesthetics and durability. Carboxymethyl Cellulose Sodium (CMC) has become an essential additive in the ceramic industry, significantly improving the quality and performance of both ceramic bodies and glazes. Its properties as a thickener, binder, suspension agent, and water retainer make it invaluable for ceramic manufacturers. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. supplies high-purity ceramic grade CMC that contributes to superior ceramic products.

In ceramic glazes, CMC acts as a highly effective suspending and thickening agent. It ensures that the glaze particles remain evenly dispersed, preventing sedimentation and guaranteeing a uniform coating on the ceramic piece. This uniform distribution is critical for achieving a smooth, defect-free glaze surface. Furthermore, CMC enhances glaze adhesion to the ceramic body, thereby reducing the incidence of glaze cracking and crazing during firing. The consistent quality of CMC from NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. ensures predictable results in complex glaze formulations.

When incorporated into the ceramic body itself, CMC improves plasticity, making the clay more workable and easier to shape. It enhances the dry strength of greenware, reducing breakage during handling and drying. The uniform distribution of the carboxymethyl group on the cellulose backbone, a hallmark of our ceramic grade CMC, minimizes the formation of gel granules in the glaze formulation. Additionally, our CMC contains no colored impurities and is 100% combustible under firing conditions, ensuring a clean and brilliant ceramic glaze. Manufacturers often seek to buy CMC powder in bulk for their large-scale production needs.

The rheological properties of glaze formulations are significantly improved with the addition of CMC. The viscosity of the glaze can be precisely controlled by adjusting the concentration of CMC added, allowing for consistent application methods, whether by dipping, spraying, or brushing. This control over viscosity is crucial for achieving the desired glaze thickness and surface finish. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. offers ceramic grade CMC with specifications tailored to meet the diverse requirements of the industry, including optimal viscosity and purity levels. Understanding the specific CMC for ceramics features can greatly benefit production.

By stabilizing the physical and chemical properties of glaze formulations and facilitating the formation of smooth, dense glaze layers, CMC plays a vital role in achieving high-quality ceramic ware. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is committed to being a reliable partner for ceramic manufacturers, providing the essential raw materials that drive innovation and excellence in the industry.
