In industries where surface properties and material integrity are paramount, such as paper manufacturing and textile printing, specific chemical additives are essential for achieving desired results. Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) is a key player in both sectors, offering a unique combination of properties that improve product quality and processing efficiency. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., a reputable manufacturer and supplier, provides high-quality CMC that caters to the needs of these demanding industries.

CMC in Paper Manufacturing: Enhancing Quality and Printability

In paper production, CMC is utilized for several critical functions:

  • Surface Sizing: Applied to the surface of paper, CMC improves its strength, stiffness, and smoothness. This enhanced surface quality leads to better printability, reducing ink feathering and ensuring sharper, clearer printing. When you buy paper products, the consistent finish often owes much to additives like CMC.
  • Wet End Additive: Added to the pulp slurry at the wet end of the papermaking process, CMC acts as a retention aid and improves the drainage of water. It also enhances the strength of the paper by acting as a binder, holding the cellulose fibers together more effectively.
  • Coating Agent: In coated paper production, CMC is used in coating formulations to adjust viscosity, improve water retention, and provide a uniform coating layer, contributing to the paper's brightness and gloss.

CMC in Textile Printing: Precision and Performance

The textile industry benefits immensely from CMC's properties, particularly in printing and finishing:

  • Thickener for Printing Pastes: CMC is a widely used thickening agent for textile printing pastes. It provides the necessary viscosity for dye pastes, allowing for precise application onto fabrics. This leads to sharper print definition, better color yield, and prevents the dye from spreading uncontrollably. When you buy printed textiles, the clarity of the patterns is often a testament to the quality of printing paste thickeners like CMC.
  • Binder and Stabilizer: CMC can act as a binder in certain textile applications, such as in non-woven fabrics, contributing to their strength and integrity. It also helps stabilize dye formulations, ensuring consistent color application.
  • Sizing Agent: In yarn sizing, CMC helps protect yarns during weaving by providing a smooth, protective coating. This reduces yarn breakages and improves weaving efficiency. The sizing can often be easily removed with water (desized).
