Carboxymethylcellulose Sodium high quality good price use and dosage

Carboxymethylcellulose Sodium (CMC-Na), a versatile water-soluble cellulose derivative, is widely recognized as an effective thickener, stabilizer, lubricant, and moisture-retaining agent across various industries. Renowned for its non-toxic and non-irritating properties, CMC-Na has earned approvals for use in pharmaceutical, food, cosmetic, and industrial applications. It typically presents as a white or light yellow powder and dissolves readily in water to form viscous, transparent solutions.

Key Functional Properties:

• Thickening & Stabilizing: CMC-Na excels at forming stable colloidal solutions, even at low concentrations, making it ideal for enhancing product texture and stability.
• pH Tolerance: This compound demonstrates remarkable stability across acidic to neutral pH ranges (pH 3–11), ensuring consistent performance in diverse formulations.
• Biocompatibility: CMC-Na is safe for ophthalmic, oral, and topical applications, underscoring its broad utility in personal care and pharmaceutical products.

The following table outlines the typical parameters for food/pharma-grade CMC-Na, ensuring clarity and precision in product selection:
