Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose(CMC)

Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose is an important cellulose ether, It is obtained by chemical modification of natural fiber and is a polyanion compound with good water-solubility, easily soluble in both cold and hot water, Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose has many unusual and valuable physical and chemical characteristics such as emulsifying disparity, solid disparity, resistance to decay, being physiologically harmless etc. and is widely used as a natural macromolecular derivate

Brief introduction

Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose (Cellulose Gum or CMC) is extracted from wood pulp and pure cotton cellulose. It can be divided into industrial grade and food grade. The industrial-grade Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose can be further divided into technical-grade and semi-purified ones. And the technical-grade Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose (or crude CMC) generally has purity less than 80%;  the semi-purified one has purity ranging from 80% to 95%; the purified one has purity more than 99.5%. Only purified Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose is safe to eat. CMC supplied by us meets FCC IV standards, with quality and stability.
