For professionals in the mining industry, understanding the technical specifications of chemical additives is crucial for achieving optimal performance and efficiency. At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., we emphasize the importance of key parameters like viscosity and degree of substitution for our Mining Grade Carboxymethyl Cellulose Sodium (CMC). These specifications directly influence its effectiveness as a pellet binder and flotation inhibitor.

Viscosity, typically measured in a 1% solution, is a primary indicator of CMC's thickening and binding power. For mining applications, we offer a range of viscosities, from 100-200 mPa·s to over 2000 mPa·s. Higher viscosity grades generally provide stronger binding and better suspension properties, which are essential for creating robust mineral pellets and controlling slurries in flotation processes. The specific viscosity required will depend on the ore type, processing method, and desired pellet characteristics.

The degree of substitution (DS) refers to the average number of carboxymethyl groups attached to each anhydroglucose unit in the cellulose polymer. For our mining grade CMC, the DS typically ranges from 0.70 to over 0.90, with corresponding purity levels of ≥80% to ≥99%. A higher degree of substitution generally leads to increased water solubility and stability, which translates to better performance in aqueous environments commonly found in mining operations. It also influences the CMC's effectiveness as a flotation inhibitor and its ability to prevent fluid loss in drilling applications.

At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., we provide detailed technical data for our products, allowing clients to select the most appropriate CMC grade for their specific needs. Whether the goal is to enhance the wet strength of pellets, improve the efficiency of mineral recovery rate, or optimize flotation selectivity, understanding these parameters is key.

Our commitment is to provide not just a product, but a solution. By offering Mining Grade Carboxymethyl Cellulose Sodium with precisely controlled viscosity and degree of substitution, we empower our clients to achieve superior results. Whether you're focusing on pellet binder performance or the reduction of mine inhibitor consumption, selecting the right CMC specifications is a critical step towards success. Trust NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. for high-quality, technically sound CMC solutions tailored for the demanding mining industry.
