Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) - High-Quality Food and Industrial Grade
Product Overview
Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), also known as Cellulose Gum, is a highly versatile, water-soluble polymer derived from natural cellulose. CMC is widely used in a range of industries including food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and manufacturing due to its excellent properties as a thickening agent, stabilizer, emulsifier, and suspending agent. This product is available in various grades and viscosities to meet the specific needs of different applications.
Key Features and Benefits
- Water-Soluble: Easily dissolves in water, forming a stable, thickened solution that enhances texture and viscosity.
- High Purity: Manufactured to high standards, suitable for use in both food and pharmaceutical applications.
- Non-Toxic and Safe: A natural, non-toxic ingredient derived from cellulose, ensuring product safety.
- Versatile Applications: Can be used as a thickening agent, stabilizer, emulsifier, and suspending agent in a variety of products.
- Environmentally Friendly: Biodegradable and derived from renewable sources, CMC is a sustainable option in multiple industries.
Main Applications
1. Food Industry
- Thickening and Stabilizing Agent: Used in sauces, dressings, jams, ice cream, and beverages to enhance viscosity and stability.
- Anti-Caking Agent: Keeps powdered products such as seasonings, sugar, and salt free-flowing, preventing clumping.
- Low-Calorie and Sugar-Free Foods: Utilized in low-calorie and sugar-free formulations to improve texture and mouthfeel without adding calories or sugar.
2. Pharmaceutical Industry
- Binder and Disintegrant: Used in tablet and capsule formulations to improve the uniformity and release profile of active ingredients.
- Suspending Agent: Helps in the suspension of insoluble active ingredients in liquid formulations, such as syrups and oral suspensions.
3. Cosmetic and Personal Care
- Thickener in Creams and Lotions: Adds smooth texture to products like moisturizers, body creams, and hair conditioners.
- Stabilizer in Cosmetics: Ensures the uniform distribution of ingredients and prevents phase separation in lotions, gels, and shampoos.
4. Textile and Paper Industry
- Textile Printing and Dyeing: Used as a thickening agent in textile printing pastes, improving dye adhesion and color uniformity.
- Paper Industry: Enhances paper coating and improves paper quality by providing smoothness and gloss.
5. Industrial Applications
- Oil Drilling: Used in drilling fluids to control the viscosity and improve the flow properties of drilling mud.
- Construction: Used as an additive in cement and gypsum-based products for improved consistency and adhesion.
