The main purpose

Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) is the product with the largest output, the widest application, and the most convenient use among cellulose ethers, commonly known as "industrial monosodium glutamate".

1. Used in oil and natural gas drilling and well digging projects.

2. Used in the textile, printing and dyeing industry. The textile industry uses CMC as a sizing agent for the sizing of strong light yarns such as cotton, silk and wool, chemical fibers, and blends;

3. Used in the paper industry. CMC can be used as a smoothing agent and sizing agent in the paper industry. Adding 0.1% to 0.3% CMC to the pulp can increase the tension resistance of the paper by 40% to 50%, increase the compressive rupture degree by 50%, and increase the flexibility by 4 to 5 times.

4. CMC can be used as a dirt adsorbent when added to synthetic detergent; daily chemical such as toothpaste industry CMC glycerin aqueous solution is used as toothpaste gum base; pharmaceutical industry is used as a thickener and emulsifier; CMC aqueous solution is used as a floating agent after thickening Beneficiation etc.

5. It can be used as adhesive, plasticizer, suspending agent of glaze, fixing agent, etc. in ceramic industry.

6. Used in construction to improve water retention and strength

7. Used in the food industry. The food industry uses high displacement CMC as a thickener for ice cream, canned food, instant noodles, and a foam stabilizer for beer. It is used in processing jams, sugar juices, sherbet, desserts, ice cream drinks, etc. It is a thickener, binder or shape agent.

8. The pharmaceutical industry selects CMC with appropriate viscosity as a binder, disintegrant, and suspending agent for tablets.
