Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) is a water-soluble polymer derived from cellulose, which is the most abundant organic compound found in nature. It is commonly used in various industrial, food, and pharmaceutical applications. Here are some of the uses of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose:
Food industry: Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose is used as a thickener, stabilizer, and emulsifier in various food products, such as ice cream, yogurt, sauces, and processed meats. It also helps to improve the texture and mouthfeel of these products.
Pharmaceutical industry: Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose is used as a binder, disintegrant, and viscosity-enhancing agent in pharmaceutical tablets, capsules, and suspensions. It also has laxative properties and is used in the treatment of constipation.
Personal care products: Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose is used in the production of personal care products like toothpaste, shampoo, and cosmetics as a thickener and emulsifier.
Oil drilling: Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose is used in the oil drilling industry as a drilling fluid additive, where it helps to control fluid loss and maintain viscosity.
Paper industry: Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose is used as a paper coating, sizing agent, and paper strength enhancer.
