Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC Na) is a high-performance anionic polymer derivative of cellulose, engineered for superior thickening, stabilizing, and emulsifying capabilities. As a versatile organic compound with a chemical formula of [C6H7O2 (OH) 2OCH2COONa] n, it is widely recognized as the most critical ionic cellulose adhesive, appearing as an odorless, white fibrous or granular powder that is highly hygroscopic and easily dispersible in water to form transparent colloidal solutions.

Our pharmaceutical and industrial grade CMC powder is produced through a precise reaction of natural cellulose with caustic soda and monochloroacetic acid, ensuring a purity of 99% and molecular weights ranging from several thousand to one million. Designed for multi-industry versatility, it serves as an indispensable additive in pharmaceutical intermediates, food production, petroleum drilling, and daily chemical formulations, providing exceptional stability and viscosity control across alkaline and neutral applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are the primary differences between alkaline and neutral CMC?

Alkaline CMC is typically industrial low viscosity (0.2-0.5 Pa·s), while Neutral CMC offers medium (0.3-0.6 Pa·s) and high viscosity (0.8-1.0 Pa·s) options, making them suitable for different chemical environments.

Q: How does CMC Na improve the quality of bakery products?

Due to its hydrophilicity and rehydration properties, CMC improves the texture of bread and mantou, while effectively extending the shelf life by retaining moisture.

Q: Can Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose be used in wastewater treatment?

Yes, it is used as a flocculant in water treatment, specifically for wastewater and sludge treatment, where it helps increase the solid content of filter cakes.

Q: Is edible grade CMC Na safe for human consumption?

Absolutely. Edible grade CMC Na is designed as a safe food additive that does not have adverse effects on human health when used within approved industrial standards.

Q: What role does CMC play in the petroleum industry?

In the petroleum sector, CMC is widely utilized as a drilling mud treatment agent to control viscosity and stability during drilling operations.

Q: How does CMC affect yogurt and beverage stability?

Thanks to its thickening and emulsifying properties, CMC Na stabilizes yogurt beverages and prevents phase separation, ensuring a smooth, creamy viscosity.
