- Utilize CMC for viscosity control in ceramic glazes to achieve desired application properties.
- Improve green strength of ceramic tiles with the binding capabilities of this cellulose thickener.
- Ensure optimal adherence of glazes to ceramic substrates using CMC for enhanced ceramic glaze adhesion.
Key Advantages Provided by the Product
Enhanced Workability
Our Carboxymethyl Cellulose improves the workability of ceramic bodies, providing essential plasticity for molding and shaping, which is crucial for successful ceramic extrusion.
Superior Strength and Durability
As a binder, CMC significantly boosts the strength of dried ceramic products, substantially reducing the risk of cracking or breakage during the critical firing stage.
Reduced Drying Defects
By minimizing water loss during the drying process, CMC effectively controls shrinkage and prevents cracking, leading to fewer defects in ceramic pieces.
Key Applications
Ceramic Glazing and Coatings
CMC enhances smoothness, viscosity, and stability in ceramic glazes and coatings, ensuring uniform application and preventing sedimentation for a better finish.
Tile Production
In tile manufacturing, CMC serves as a binder and thickening agent, improving handling properties, shaping, and the overall strength of the tiles.
Casting and Molding
Used in ceramic slip preparation, CMC increases viscosity, enhancing flowability and minimizing water loss during the molding process for consistent results.
Technical Ceramics
CMC's versatility extends to technical ceramics, where it acts as a binder and rheology modifier, contributing to the complex processing requirements of these advanced materials.
