Carboxymethyl Cellulose

Product Overview

Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC), also known as cellulose gum, is a highly versatile anionic water-soluble polymer derived from natural cellulose. As a leading manufacturer, we provide high-purity CMC (CAS 9004-32-4) designed to meet rigorous international standards for diverse industrial sectors. This white powder exhibits exceptional thickening, stabilizing, and water-retention properties, making it an indispensable ingredient in modern formulation chemistry.

Our production process ensures consistent degree of substitution (DS) and viscosity profiles, guaranteeing reliable performance in every batch. Whether utilized as a binder in pharmaceuticals or a viscosifier in drilling fluids, our CMC delivers optimal functionality and stability under varying pH and temperature conditions.

Key Technical Features

The unique chemical structure of Carboxymethyl Cellulose allows it to interact effectively with water and various solutes. Key advantages of our premium grade include:

• Superior water solubility and rapid hydration kinetics.
• Excellent thickening efficiency across a wide viscosity range.
• Enhanced stability against microbial degradation and heat.
• Effective suspending and emulsifying capabilities for complex mixtures.
• Safe, non-toxic profile suitable for food and pharmaceutical contact.

Industrial Applications

Our Carboxymethyl Cellulose serves critical roles across multiple industries. In the food sector, it acts as a stabilizer and texture modifier for dairy products and beverages. Pharmaceutical formulations utilize CMC as a reliable drug carrier and tablet binder. The daily chemical industry relies on its rheological properties for shampoos and detergents. Furthermore, in heavy industry, it functions as a protective colloid in printing pastes and a key component in oil fracturing fluids for petrochemical extraction.

Quality Specifications

We maintain strict quality control protocols to ensure every shipment conforms to factory standards. Below are the typical analytical results for our standard grade:

Packaging and Storage

To preserve integrity, our Carboxymethyl Cellulose is packed in durable paper drums or three-layer kraft paper bags lined with plastic bags. We recommend storing the product in a dry, moisture-proof environment away from direct fire and heat sources. Proper handling ensures the material retains its physicochemical properties throughout its shelf life. Contact our sales team for detailed safety data sheets and bulk pricing options.
