Selecting the right grade of chemical ingredients is critical for optimizing the performance of any formulated product. For detergents, Detergent Grade Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) is a key component, and understanding its technical specifications is essential for achieving desired results. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. provides a range of CMC products, and we aim to demystify these specifications to help you make informed choices.

One of the most important parameters for CMC is its viscosity. Typically measured in a 1% or 2% aqueous solution, viscosity indicates how effectively the CMC will thicken a liquid detergent or stabilize a powder formulation. Higher viscosity grades are generally used for stronger thickening effects, while lower viscosity grades might be preferred for applications where less thickening is needed but other properties like suspension are prioritized. The specific viscosity requirement will depend on the target rheology of your detergent product. We offer various viscosity ranges to meet diverse formulation needs.

Another critical specification is the degree of substitution (DS). This refers to the average number of carboxymethyl groups attached to each glucose unit in the cellulose polymer chain. A higher DS generally means better water solubility and a smoother, more stable colloidal solution. For detergent applications, a DS in the range of 0.7 to 0.95 is often considered optimal, ensuring good dispersion and anti-redeposition properties. The DS influences how the CMC interacts with water and other components in the detergent, impacting its overall performance.

Purity, often indicated as the percentage of effective ingredient, is also paramount. High purity CMC ensures that there are minimal impurities that could affect the detergent's performance, clarity, or stability. For detergent grade products, high purity means more consistent results and fewer unwanted side effects. At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., we emphasize high purity in our offerings, ensuring that manufacturers can rely on the quality and efficacy of our detergent grade sodium carboxymethyl cellulose.

Finally, understanding other parameters like pH and loss on drying is important for manufacturing process control. Choosing the correct CMC grade involves balancing these specifications with your specific formulation goals, desired product texture, and performance targets.
