Products Description
Natural cellulose is the most widely distributed and abundant polysaccharide in nature, and its sources are very abundant. At present, the modification technology of cellulose mainly focuses on etherification and esterification. Carboxymethylation reaction is a kind of etherification technology. Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) is obtained after carboxymethylation of cellulose. Its aqueous solution has the functions of thickening, film formation, bonding, moisture retention, colloid protection, emulsification and suspension. It is widely used in the petroleum, food, medicine, textile and papermaking industries, and is one of the most important cellulose ethers.
Main characteristicds
1. Water-solubility: CMC is highly soluble in water, forming a clear and viscous solution. This property makes it suitable for use in a wide range of applications where water solubility is required.
2. Rheology modifier: CMC acts as a rheology modifier, providing thickening, stabilizing, and gelling properties in a variety of products.
3. Film-forming ability: CMC has excellent film-forming properties, making it ideal for applications where a thin film is desired.
4. pH stability: CMC exhibits good pH stability, remaining effective in a wide range of pH environments.
5. Non-toxic and environmentally friendly: CMC is considered non-toxic and environmentally friendly, making it a safe choice for various applications.
Main application areas
1. Food and beverage: CMC is commonly used in food and beverage products as a thickener, stabilizer, and emulsifier. It can be found in products such as sauces, dressings, dairy products, and bakery items.
2. Pharmaceuticals: CMC is used in pharmaceutical formulations as a binder, disintegrant, and controlled-release agent. It can be found in tablets, capsules, and suspensions.
3. Personal care products: CMC is added to personal care products such as cosmetics, lotions, and creams for its thickening and stabilizing properties.
4. Textiles: CMC is used in the textile industry for its ability to improve dye penetration, enhance fabric strength, and provide a smooth finish.
Factory
Common specifications and substitutes
- **Degree of substitution (DS)**: 0.4~1.4 (the higher the water solubility).
- **Purity**: industrial grade (higher salt content) vs. pharmaceutical/food grade (high purity).
- **Analogs**:
- **HPMC (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose)**: better thermal gelation, used for sustained drug release.
- **HEC (hydroxyethyl cellulose)**: non-ionic, more salt-resistant.
