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.
