Product Description

Product Detail: Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) - Food, Pharmaceutical, and Oilfield Grade

Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) is a highly versatile and widely used cellulose derivative. It is an essential ingredient across several industries, including food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, textiles, and oilfield applications. CMC is known for its excellent thickening, stabilizing, and emulsifying properties, which make it an indispensable material for improving product performance, consistency, and quality.

Key Applications:

• Food Industry: CMC is used as a thickening agent, stabilizer, and emulsifier in various food products such as beverages, sauces, dairy products, ice cream, and confectioneries.
• Pharmaceutical Industry: CMC serves as a binder, disintegrant, and stabilizer in tablets, suspensions, and other dosage forms.
• Oilfield Industry: CMC is widely used in drilling fluids to improve viscosity, fluid loss control, and to stabilize wellbore conditions.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: CMC is used to enhance texture, consistency, and stability in creams, lotions, and gels.
• Paper and Textile Industries: In paper production, CMC is used to improve the quality of the paper and in textile industries for dyeing and finishing.
