Product Description
A non-toxic, odorless high-quality thickener with a wide range of applications, used in washing, food, papermaking, textile, pharmaceutical, cosmetic and other industries.
Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) is an anionic cellulose ether. With its unique properties and advantages, CMC has been widely used in food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, construction and many other fields, serving as a very important raw material in various industries.
CMC appears as white or pale yellow flocculent fibrous powder, or white powder. It is odorless, tasteless, non-toxic and highly safe to use. Its outstanding characteristic is that it is soluble in both cold and hot water, forming a transparent solution with a certain viscosity after dissolution. Therefore, CMC offers good thickening, stabilizing and bonding effects, effectively improving the quality and performance of various products.
Product Introduction
Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) is a versatile and stable additive widely used in various industrial applications, especially in the detergent industry. It has good water solubility, high viscosity and strong thickening effect, making it suitable for enhancing the overall performance of washing products. It can improve particle suspension, prevent sedimentation, and thus boost detergency and cleaning ability.

Applications
It enjoys a wide range of applications, including detergents, food, papermaking, textiles, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.
In the food industry, CMC improves product texture, prevents syneresis and shrinkage, and extends shelf life. It is often added to dairy products, sauces and condiments to deliver a smoother and more stable mouthfeel. In pharmaceuticals, CMC acts as a binder in tablet formulations and a suspending agent in liquid preparations, ensuring uniform dispersion of active ingredients. In cosmetics, CMC stabilizes emulsion systems and increases the consistency of creams and lotions, optimizing product texture.
In addition, CMC is used in building materials such as concrete and gypsum to improve workability and reduce water loss. In the detergent industry, its excellent water solubility, high viscosity and strong thickening capacity make it an ideal raw material for enhancing the performance of cleaning products.
Features
(1) Good chemical resistance and light resistance, but moderate heat resistance; viscosity decreases as temperature rises.
(2) Readily soluble in water, forming a neutral or weakly alkaline high-viscosity aqueous solution.
(3) Odorless, tasteless, non-toxic, anionic, and hygroscopic.
