SODIUM CARBOXYMETHYL CELLULOSE (CMC) 

1. Food grade CMC

CMC acts as a thickener, stabilizer, and emulsifier in beverages, ice cream, bakery, instant noodles, and sauces.
It improves texture, mouthfeel, and shelf life, ensuring consistent product quality. 

Technical Data

• Appearance: Free flowing white powder. 

• Viscosity: from low viscosity to 8000 cps (1% brookfield).

• Purity: min 99.5%.

2. Oil drilling grade CMC

In water-based drilling fluids, CMC is used as a viscosifier and fluid loss reducer.
It enhances borehole stability, improves mud carrying capacity, and provides excellent salt resistance under various drilling conditions.

• CMC HV

Technical Data
In accordance with API 13A CMC-HVT specification:
Viscometer dial reading at 600 r/min:
- in deionized water: min. 30
- in 40 g/ltr salt water: min. 30
-  in saturated salt water: min. 30
Filtrate volume: Max 10.00 cm3

• CMC LV

Technical Data
In accordance with API 13A CMC-LVT specification:
Viscometer dial reading at 600 r/min: max. 90
Filtrate volume: max. 10 cm3

3. Paper grade CMC

CMC serves as a surface sizing and coating agent, enhancing paper strength, smoothness, and printability. It also improves fiber bonding and helps reduce paper dust and lint.

Technical Data

• Appearance: Free flowing white powder. 

• Viscosity:
  Brookfield 2%, max 10cps;
  Brookfield 2%, 10-15cps;
  Brookfield 2%, 35-55cps;
  
  

4. Ceramic grade CMC

CMC functions as a binder and plasticizer in ceramic body and glaze formulations. It improves green strength, enhances glaze adhesion, and ensures uniform particle distribution during forming and drying.

Technical Data

• Appearance: Free flowing white powder. 

• Viscosity:
  Brookfield 4%, 20-60cps;
  Brookfield 4%, 50-150cps;
  Brookfield 2%, 35-55cps;
  Brookfield 1%, 700-1000cps;
  Brookfield 1%, 2000-2500cps; 

5. Mineral flotation grade CMC

CMC acts as a selective depressant and dispersant in mineral separation. It helps improve ore grade and recovery rate, particularly in the flotation of hematite, lead-zinc, and phosphate ores.

6. Textile printing grade CMC

In textile printing pastes, CMC provides good color yield, sharp pattern definition, and smooth flow properties. It replaces traditional natural thickeners, ensuring stable viscosity and easy washing after printing.

7. Detergent powder grade CMC

CMC is used as an anti-redeposition agent, preventing dirt from reattaching to fabrics during washing. It enhances detergency efficiency, especially in phosphate-free formulations.
