Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose
Introduction
Name: Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose
Abbreviation: CMC
Molecular Formula: C6H7O2(OH)2OCH2COONa
1.Characteristics:
Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) is white or yellowish powder that is odorless,tasteless and
non-toxic.It has high hygroscopicity and is soluble in water to form a thick liquid. It is a polyanionic
electrolyte and not fermented.It has good heat-stability .resistance to salt and film-forming property.
It is a strong emulsifier for fat and oil.
2.Applications
Detergent and mosquito-repellent incense
1.Effectively prevent washes from
becoming contaminated after being washed by synthetic
detergent.Add 0.5-2 percent only,you
can get satisfactory result.Because the action of static between
fomite granule with minus
charge and CMC molecule with minus charge itself.
2.Make washing liquid more viscous and the effect of washing more stable.
3.Improved toughness of mosquito-repellent incense.Which can prevent from denting and cracking.
4.Each group of mosquito-repellent incense compatible to achieve better medicine effect.
Building and ceramics
1.At the same time,it can be control viscosity and floating.
2.CMC can be applied as semi-finished viscosity in ceramics industry , for it can increase plasticity
performance.
3.CMC can be used as flowing control matter in ceramics glost substitute,which has the performance
of retain substitute,to prevent it from getting to tear cicatrice before cooking finish.
Food and medicine
1.Prevent protein in acid milk from condensing ,setting and laminating .
2.Due to its unusual smooth sugar paste state after it dissolves, it make drink taste good and smooth.
3.Its good evenness and acid resistance provides drink with excellent stability
4.Effectively improve the cracking or collapsing of flakes to dissolve the effective element.
Paper coating
CMC is used as paper gluing agent to provide paper with high compatibility ,fine anti-ink osmosis and
high was gathering capability.
CMC can help control color paste flowing for paper and during paper variegation
