Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose
As a binder, suspending agent, and decoagulant, Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) is crucial for enhancing grinding efficiency and glaze slurry fluidity in ceramic production. It significantly boosts the strength of raw glazes and minimizes drying contraction, ensuring a steadfast and durable surface that resists detachment.
- Improve Ceramic Glaze Fluidity: Utilize CMC as a high-viscosity thickener to achieve optimal flow characteristics in your ceramic glazes, contributing to a smoother application process.
- Enhance Green Strength in Ceramics: This versatile binder helps improve the workability and plasticity of ceramic bodies, increasing green strength to prevent cracking during handling and drying.
- Ensure Uniform Drying with Water Retention: Leverage the excellent water retention properties of CMC for consistent drying, leading to uniform glaze layers and reduced defects.
- Achieve Superior Fired Finishes: The application of CMC in ceramic formulations results in a flawless, smooth surface post-firing, maximizing product quality and aesthetic appeal.
Advantages of Using CMC in Ceramics
Enhanced Workability
Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose improves the plasticity and workability of ceramic pastes, making shaping processes like extrusion and pressing more manageable, which is key for improving green strength in ceramics.
Superior Surface Finish
The addition of CMC to ceramic glazes ensures excellent adhesion and a smooth, uniform surface after firing, contributing to the overall aesthetic quality of the finished ceramic product.
Production Efficiency
By stabilizing ceramic slurries and preventing sedimentation, CMC acts as a deflocculant and stabilizer, enhancing production efficiency and reducing material wastage in ceramic manufacturing.
Key Applications
Ceramic Glazing
As a binder and rheology modifier, CMC ensures smooth glaze application and prevents defects like pinholes and cracks, critical for achieving a perfect fired finish.
Ceramic Body Formulation
Improves the plasticity and green strength of ceramic bodies, making it easier to shape intricate designs and handle them during production.
Slip Casting
CMC acts as a deflocculant and viscosity enhancer in slip casting, leading to denser, more homogeneous ceramic structures and better flowability.
Binder for Tiles
Enhances the overall strength and handling properties of ceramic tiles, reducing drying contraction and increasing the qualification rate of the final product.
