In recent years, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose has developed significantly in quality, yield, variety, and technology, and its use has gradually been promoted.
CMC is white or creamy white fibrous powder or granule, density 0.5-0.7g/cm3, almost odorless and tasteless, with hygroscopicity.
Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), also known as carboxymethyl cellulose. It is a highly polymerized fiber ether prepared by chemically modifying natural cellulose. Its structure is mainly composed of D-glucose units connected by β_(14) glycosidic bonds.
Carboxymethyl cellulose can form high viscosity colloid, solution, bonding, thickening, flow, emulsification, and dispersion characteristics; with water retention, protection of colloid, film-forming, acid resistance, salt resistance, suspension, and other factors, with physiological harmless and other features, widely used in food, medicine, daily chemical, petroleum, paper making, textile, construction, and other fields.
