Product Description

Product Description

Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), also known as cellulose gum, is a water-soluble anionic polysaccharide derived from cellulose through chemical modification. Its chemical reflects its structure as a cellulose ether with carboxymethyl groups (-CH2COOH) attached to the glucose units, typically existing as a sodium salt for better solubility. This modification endows CMC with unique properties: it readily dissolves in water to form transparent, viscous colloidal solutions, offering excellent thickening, stabilizing, emulsifying, and adhesive capabilities. Widely utilized across diverse industries, CMC serves as a food additive (E466) to enhance texture and shelf life in products like yogurt, sauces, and baked goods; in pharmaceuticals, it functions as a binder, disintegrant, or lubricant for tablets and capsules and as a viscosity modifier in eye drops. In industrial applications, it acts as a sizing agent in textiles, a retention aid in papermaking, a thickener in paints, and a stabilizer in detergents.

In industrial applications, it acts as a sizing agent in textiles, a retention aid in papermaking, a thickener in paints, and a stabilizer in detergents. Classified under HS Code 3912310000 for international trade, CMC's global market prices vary significantly based on purity, viscosity, and intended use, ranging from approximately 6,500 - 22,000 USD/ton. Industrial-grade variants, suitable for non-food applications, are generally more affordable, while food-grade and pharmaceutical-grade CMCs, which must meet stringent regulatory standards (such as FDA and European Union norms), command higher prices.

Application

Detergent Additive: Added to washing powder and dishwashing liquid to prevent redeposition of dirt, enhance detergency, and act as a foam stabilizer. It improves the dispersion of grease and particles, ensuring they remain suspended in water rather than reattaching to fabrics or surfaces, while maintaining consistent foam stability during the cleaning process.
Cosmetic Matrix: Functions as a thickener and emulsifier in facial creams, shampoos, and toothpastes to enhance product texture. For example, in toothpaste, it forms a colloidal matrix that suspends abrasives and active ingredients uniformly, ensuring a smooth consistency and controlled flow, while also stabilizing emulsions in creams to prevent oil-water separation and improve application feel.

Coatings & Construction Materials: As a thickener and dispersant in water-based coatings, it prevents pigment sedimentation, maintains uniform color distribution, and adjusts the coating's flowability for better brushability. In putty powder and tile adhesives, it enhances bonding strength and water retention, ensuring consistent curing, preventing cracking, and improving adhesion to substrates.

Oil Drilling: As a mud treatment agent, it increases the viscosity and lubricity of drilling fluids, stabilizes the wellbore, and prevents borehole collapse. By adjusting the rheological properties of drilling mud, it ensures efficient cuttings suspension and reduces friction between the drill bit and formation, while forming a protective film on the wellbore surface to maintain structural stability.
Textile & Paper Industry: In textile dyeing, it serves as a sizing agent to enhance dye adhesion, ensuring uniform color fixation and preventing dye migration during the printing process. In papermaking, it acts as a surface sizing agent, improving paper smoothness and tensile strength by filling fiber gaps and forming a dense film on the paper surface, thus enhancing printability and durability.
 

 

Packaging & Shipping

Dry and Ventilated Environment: Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated warehouse, avoiding humid conditions (humidity ≤60%) to prevent CMC from absorbing moisture and caking, which may affect its dissolution performance and usability.
Light and Moisture Protection: Keep away from water sources, steam pipes, and damp floors. Ensure packaging is tightly sealed to prevent moisture penetration from the air. If the packaging is damaged, replace or reseal it promptly.
Temperature Control: Maintain storage temperature between 0-30°C, avoiding high temperatures (>40°C) or extreme cold (<-5°C). High temperatures may cause product decomposition or viscosity reduction, while low temperatures may lead to powder caking (thoroughly mix after thawing).
