Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) is a highly versatile polymer, and its performance characteristics are largely determined by its viscosity grade. In the textile industry, selecting the appropriate viscosity is crucial for optimizing processes such as printing, sizing, and finishing. As a dedicated manufacturer of CMC, we offer a range of viscosity grades to meet diverse application needs.

CMC's viscosity is a direct measure of its thickening power in aqueous solutions. This property is manipulated during the manufacturing process by controlling factors like the degree of substitution and the molecular weight of the cellulose backbone. For textile applications, CMC is typically categorized into low, medium, and high viscosity grades, each suited for specific functions.

Low Viscosity CMC: Generally used where a lighter build-up is required, such as in certain types of printing pastes or as a basic binder in non-woven fabrics. Low viscosity grades are also beneficial when a less viscous solution is needed for ease of application or when combined with other thickening systems. As a CMC supplier, we ensure these grades provide reliable performance for their intended uses.

Medium Viscosity CMC: This range is often ideal for general-purpose textile printing. It provides a good balance between thickening power and fluidity, ensuring sharp prints without being too stiff. For sizing applications, medium viscosity CMC can offer adequate protection and adhesion to yarns.

High Viscosity CMC: High viscosity grades are particularly valuable in warp sizing, where maximum yarn protection and strength are needed. The thicker film formed by high viscosity CMC significantly reduces yarn breakages during weaving. In printing, these grades can be used for creating thicker pastes required for specific effects or for applications where a very stable, high-viscosity system is desired. When you buy CMC for demanding applications, high viscosity grades are often the preferred choice.

Understanding these differences allows textile professionals to select the optimal CMC for their specific needs. Our company, as a leading CMC manufacturer, provides detailed technical specifications for each grade, enabling you to make informed purchasing decisions. We are committed to supplying the textile industry with precisely formulated CMC solutions, ensuring efficient processing and superior end-product quality.
