Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose CMC

Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose CAS 9004-32-4

Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose is White fibrous or granular powder. It is odorless, hygroscopic, soluble in water, insoluble in ethanol, ether and trimethyl methane (quoted from Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2010).

Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose CAS 9004-32-4 is used as a thickener in food industry, as a drug carrier in medicine industry, as a binder and anti-retrogradation agent in daily chemical industry. Protective colloid used as sizing agent and printing paste in printing and dyeing industry. It can be used as a component of oil recovery fracturing fluid in petrochemical industry. Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose CAS 9004-32-4 has the functions of adhesion, thickening, strengthening, emulsification, water retention and suspension.

Applications:

1. Industry: Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) can be used as anti-fouling redeposition agent in detergents, especially for hydrophobic synthetic fabrics. The anti-fouling redeposition effect of Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) is obviously better than that of carboxymethyl fibers.

2. It can be used as protective colloid or sizing agent and printing paste in printing and dyeing industry.

3. Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose can be used as emulsifying stabilizer, tablet binder and film-forming agent in pharmaceutical industry.

4. This product finds its application as a component of oil recovery fracturing fluid in petrochemical industry.

5. Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) can be used as anti-settling agent, emulsifier, dispersant, leveling agent and adhesives of coatings. It can make the solids of coatings evenly distributed in solvents, and make coatings not stratified for a long time. It is also widely used in paints.

6. Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) can be used as binder and anti-retrogradation agent in daily chemical industry.
