Carboxymethyl cellulose is widely used in industry and food.

Carboxymethyl cellulose this may be a term you have never go heard of, but has been widely used in industry and food.

Carboxymethyl cellulose CMC is a non-toxic and odorless white flocculent powder, easily soluble in water, and its aqueous solution is neutral or alkaline transparent viscous liquid. As a kind of industrial monosodium glutamate, carboxymethyl cellulose CMC is widely used and convenient to use, it can be used as binder, thickener, suspending agent, emulsifier, dispersant, stabilizer, sizing agent and so on.

Not only that, carboxymethyl cellulose CMC has important applications in specific fields. For example, in oil and gas drilling and digging engineering, it can make and wall form a thin and firm, low permeability filter cake, reduce water loss, stabilize mud and suspension dispersion, prolong the existence period, and reduce the influence of mold.

In the textile and printing and dyeing industry, carboxymethyl cellulose CMC is used as sizing agent for light yarn sizing of cotton silk and wool chemical fiber, blended and other fabrics. In the paper industry, carboxymethyl cellulose CMC is used as paper smoothing agent and sizing agent to enhance the tension resistance of paper and increase the compression rupture resistance.

In addition, carboxymethyl cellulose CMC is also used as dirt adsorbent, toothpaste gum base, thickening agent and emulsifier.
