Carboxymethyl cellulose / CMC：Safe shipping Carboxymethyl Cellulose CMC acrylate copolyme Cas:9000-11-7

Main Characteristics:
CMC is a water-soluble anionic polymer that has thickening, emulsifying, stabilizing, suspending, film-forming, and water-retention properties. It is widely used in industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, petroleum drilling, papermaking, and textiles.

Main Functions:

Thickening Agent: CMC significantly increases viscosity in aqueous solutions and is widely used in food, pharmaceuticals, and daily chemicals as a thickener to improve product texture and stability.

Emulsifier and Stabilizer: In the food industry, CMC is used to stabilize emulsions, preventing oil-water separation. It is commonly found in products such as ice cream, dairy products, and salad dressings.

Water Retention Agent: CMC has excellent water retention properties, helping maintain moisture in baked goods and prolonging their softness and freshness.

Film-Former: In the pharmaceutical industry, CMC can be used as a coating material for tablets, providing protection and controlled release functionality.

Suspending Agent: In pharmaceuticals and daily chemical products, CMC is used to suspend insoluble solids, ensuring uniform distribution of active ingredients and improving product stability and homogeneity.

In addition, CMC is used in industries such as textiles, papermaking, and petroleum drilling, where it functions as a thickener, binder, water-retention agent, and film-former.
