Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) High Purity Grade

Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) – High Purity Grade

Description:
Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC), also known as cellulose gum, is a water-soluble polymer derived from natural cellulose. It is widely used as a thickener, stabilizer, emulsifier, and film-forming agent in a broad range of industries including food, pharmaceuticals, personal care, paper, detergents, textiles, and oil drilling.

Our premium-grade CMC offers excellent viscosity control, high purity, and superior performance in both liquid and solid systems. It is non-toxic, biodegradable, and compatible with most other ingredients and formulations.

Key Features:

• Appearance: White to off-white powder

• Solubility: Completely soluble in cold or hot water

• Purity: ≥ 99%

• Viscosity (1% solution at 25°C): 300–6000 cps (varies by grade)

• pH (1% solution): 6.0–8.5

• Degree of Substitution (DS): 0.7–1.2

Applications:

• Food Industry: Used as a thickener and stabilizer in sauces, ice cream, dairy, and beverages
