Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) stands as a cornerstone ingredient across a multitude of industries, prized for its exceptional properties as a thickener, stabilizer, binder, and rheology modifier. At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., we specialize in providing high-quality CMC powder, a versatile cellulose derivative that enhances the performance and stability of a wide range of products.

CMC is a water-soluble polymer derived from cellulose through a chemical process called carboxymethylation. This process introduces carboxymethyl groups along the cellulose chain, rendering it soluble in water and imparting unique functional properties. The degree of substitution (D.S.), which refers to the average number of carboxymethyl groups per anhydroglucose unit, significantly influences the properties of CMC, including its solubility, viscosity, and stability in various conditions, including acidic environments.

Our Carboxymethyl Cellulose powder is a fine, white, odorless, and tasteless material, available in various grades tailored to specific application needs. With a pH range typically between 6.0 and 8.5 and varying viscosity levels – which can range significantly to meet customer specifications – our CMC is designed for optimal performance. We offer different purity levels, commonly ranging from 85% to 99% or higher, ensuring that clients receive a product suitable for their exact requirements, whether for technical or more demanding applications like food or personal care.

The applications of Carboxymethyl Cellulose are incredibly diverse. In the food industry, CMC acts as an excellent thickener and stabilizer in dairy products, sauces, dressings, and baked goods. It helps prevent protein coagulation in acidic milk products, improves texture, enhances mouthfeel, and contributes to overall product stability and shelf life. Its ability to form smooth sugar pastes makes it invaluable in confectionery and beverage formulations.

For the paint and coatings sector, CMC functions as a crucial thickener and suspension agent. It improves the viscosity of paints, preventing sagging and ensuring uniform application. As a stabilizer, it helps maintain pigment dispersion and prevents sedimentation or delamination during storage, even under temperature fluctuations. This contributes to consistent product quality and performance.

In the realm of detergents, CMC is primarily used as an anti-redeposition agent. It effectively prevents loosened dirt and grime from re-depositing onto fabrics during the washing process, thus improving cleaning efficiency and maintaining the brightness of textiles. It can also be used to increase the viscosity of liquid detergents, providing a more appealing texture and stable formulation.

The personal care industry, particularly toothpaste production, relies heavily on CMC as a binder and thickener. It provides the necessary structure and consistency to toothpaste, preventing phase separation (water separation from the paste) and ensuring a smooth, non-gritty texture. Its compatibility with other toothpaste ingredients and ability to impart good rheology make it an indispensable component for creating stable and pleasant formulations.

Furthermore, Carboxymethyl Cellulose finds significant use in the oil drilling industry, where it is added to drilling muds to control viscosity and reduce fluid loss, essential for maintaining wellbore stability and efficient drilling operations. In the textile industry, it serves as a sizing agent and thickener in printing pastes, improving dye penetration and pattern definition.

Other applications include use in ceramics as a binder, in paper manufacturing to improve strength and surface properties, and as an excipient in certain technical or veterinary products (note: this does not imply drug *formulation*). NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. ensures strict quality control throughout the manufacturing process, from raw material selection to final product testing. Each batch of Carboxymethyl Cellulose is rigorously tested to ensure it meets specified parameters for purity, viscosity, pH, and other critical properties.
