Thickening Agent Detergent Grade Cellulose Ether Carboxymethyl Cellulose Sodium CMC

Carboxymethyl Cellulose is a water - soluble polymeric compound that appears as a white or slightly yellow fibrous powder or granules, possesses various functions such as thickening, emulsifying, stabilizing and water - retaining, and is widely used in many fields including food, medicine and daily chemicals.

(1) Food industry: It is used as a thickener and stabilizer in jams, ice creams, beverages, etc. It can make the products have a fine and uniform taste, and prevent layering and precipitation.

(2) Pharmaceutical industry: It is a binder and disintegrant for drug tablets, which helps the drug to form and disintegrate quickly in the body. It is also used in eye drops and other products, playing the role of thickening and moisturizing to relieve eye dryness.

(3) Daily chemical industry: In toothpaste, it is used as an adhesive to maintain the stability and fineness of the paste. In cosmetics, it is used as a thickener and emulsifier to make the product texture uniform and easy to apply.

(4) Industrial field: In the paper - making industry, it can improve the strength and smoothness of paper. In the textile industry, it is used as a sizing agent to increase the strength and wear resistance of yarn. It is also an important additive in petroleum drilling mud, which can improve the viscosity and stability of the mud and prevent the wellbore from collapsing.

(1) Thickening function: It can significantly increase the viscosity of aqueous solutions, giving the system an appropriate consistency. It is widely used in the food and cosmetics industries to achieve the desired product texture.

(2) Emulsifying and stabilizing function: It can reduce the surface tension at the oil - water interface, evenly dispersing oil droplets in the water phase to form a stable emulsion, preventing the emulsion from separating and the oil phase from separating out.

(3) Water - retaining function: It has strong water - absorption capacity and can absorb and retain a large amount of water, maintaining the moisture of products and preventing drying. In the food and pharmaceutical industries, it can extend the shelf life of products.

(4) Film - forming function: Under certain conditions, it can form a tough film, which can be used in food packaging, drug coating, etc., playing a role in protection and isolation.

(5) Suspending and dispersing function: It can evenly suspend insoluble solid particles in a liquid, preventing the particles from settling. For example, in coatings, inks and other products, it can keep pigments and other particles evenly dispersed.
