The best Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) manufacturer

Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC): A Versatile Compound for Various Industries

Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), also known as cellulose gum, is a cellulose derivative that features carboxymethyl groups (-CH₂-COOH) attached to the hydroxyl groups of the glucopyranose units in the cellulose structure. This modification enhances its solubility and functional properties, making CMC a versatile compound used across various industries.

Appearance and Characteristics

CMC typically appears as a white to light yellow powder that is odorless and tasteless. It can also exist in granular or fibrous forms. The substance is highly hygroscopic, meaning it readily absorbs moisture from the environment. When dissolved in water, it forms a viscous solution that is stable under neutral or alkaline conditions, although its viscosity may decrease at elevated temperatures above 80°C.

High Performance CMC Suitable for Use in a Variety of Applications

Our manufacturing facility specializes in producing high-performance CMC that meets the stringent requirements of diverse industries. Our CMC is known for its consistent quality, reliability, and versatility, making it the preferred choice for numerous applications.

Wallpaper Adhesives

CMC acts as an excellent thickener and binder in wallpaper adhesives, ensuring strong adhesion and a smooth finish. Its ability to form a viscous solution enhances the adhesive’s performance, making it easier to apply and more durable.

Paint, Coatings, and Inks

CMC is widely used in paint, coatings, and inks as a rheology modifier. It improves the stability, flow, and leveling properties of these formulations, ensuring a smooth and uniform appearance.

Mining

In the mining industry, CMC is used in drilling muds and ore processing to control fluid loss, stabilize boreholes, and suspend solids. Its high viscosity and film-forming properties make it an ideal choice for these applications.

Personal Care

CMC is a key ingredient in personal care products such as shampoos, lotions, and creams. Its emulsifying and moisturizing properties help to stabilize emulsions and retain moisture, ensuring a smooth and hydrated skin feel.

Food

CMC plays a crucial role in the food industry as a thickening agent, emulsifier, and stabilizer. It enhances the texture and stability of food products, improves shelf life, and prevents separation of ingredients.

Oilfield

In the oilfield industry, CMC is used in drilling and completion fluids to control fluid loss, stabilize boreholes, and enhance well productivity. Its high viscosity and shear-thinning properties make it an effective choice for these applications.

Batteries

CMC is also finding increasing use in battery applications, particularly in gel electrolytes. Its ability to form a stable gel structure enhances the safety and performance of batteries, extending their cycle life and improving efficiency.
