Sodium Carboxy Methyl Cellulose (CMC)

Vitalcellose Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) is an anionic cellulose ether made from natural cotton fiber as the primary raw material through alkalization, etherification, purification, drying, pulverization, or granulation. The appearance of CMC is white powder or granules, and its water-soluble colloid has the functions of thickening, stabilizing, emulsifying, suspending, and film-forming. They are widely used in food, toothpaste, paper, ceramics, printing and dyeing, oil drilling, and other industries. Food Grade CMC Purity: ≥99.5% Viscosity (mPa•s): 80-120 to ≥8000 (depending on type) Degree of Substitution: 0.80-0.95 Loss on Drying: ≤10.0% pH Value (1% solution): 6.5-9.0 Applications: Prevents protein coagulation in yogurt. Enhances mixing and emulsification in ice cream. Stabilizes acidic beverages and extends shelf life. Suitable for low-calorie foods. Battery Grade CMC Viscosity: 10-4000 mPas Degree of Substitution: 0.95-1.20 pH: 6.5-8.5 Moisture: ≤10% Purity: ≥99.5% Features: Improves stability and fluidity of dispersions. Acts as an adhesive and protective agent. Prevents active substance precipitation. Textile Grade CMC Viscosity: 200-2000 mPa.s Degree of Substitution: 1.3-2.0 Moisture: <10% pH Value: 6.5-9.0 Applications: Used as textile sizing and printing paste. Enhances hydrophilicity and dye penetration. Suitable for fine pattern printing. Coating Grade CMC Viscosity: 2000-6000 CPS Purity: ≥95% Features: Prevents coating separation. Acts as a thickener to maintain viscosity. Reduces paint dripping and sagging. Toothpaste Grade CMC Viscosity: 200-500 CPS Purity: 99.5% Features: Provides shape and stability. Enhances compatibility with other ingredients. Improves shelf life. Papermaking Grade CMC Viscosity: 20-100 CPS Purity: 90.0/98.0% Applications: Controls rheology of coatings. Improves gloss and whiteness of paper. Enhances retention of brighteners. Detergent Grade CMC Viscosity: 5-5000 CPS Purity: 70-95% Features: Provides viscosity, thickening, and emulsification. Prevents dirt redeposition. Ceramic Grade CMC Viscosity: 800-2500 CPS Purity: 95.0% Features: Enhances glaze slurry stability. Improves rheological properties for glazing. Oil-drilling Grade CMC Viscosity (600rpm): ≥30 API Filtrate: ≤10 cm³ Features: Stabilizes soft soil structures. Reduces filtration loss and improves drilling speed. Polyanionic Cellulose (PAC) Viscosity (mpa.s): ≤40-≥50 API Filtrate Volume: ≤16-≤23 Moisture: ≤10% Degree of Substitution (D.S.): ≥0.9 Purity: 70-95% Features: Reduces water loss and improves mud quantity. Suitable for fresh or seawater, and saturated brine.
