Did you know 73% of manufacturers using traditional thickeners report product inconsistency issues? While you struggle with clumping solutions and wasted raw materials, your competitors are adopting carboxymethylated cellulose
(CMC) - a game-changer with 92% user satisfaction in viscosity control. Let's explore how this water-soluble polymer can transform your production line.
(carboxymethylated cellulose)
Technical Superiority: Where Science Meets Performance
Unlike conventional cellulose derivatives, our sodium carboxymethyl cellulose manufacturing process achieves 99.8% solubility in cold water. How? Through patented carboxylation that creates uniform substitution patterns. See how we outperform:
| Parameter | Standard CMC | Our CMC |
|---|---|---|
| Solubility Time | 45-60 mins | 8-12 mins |
| Viscosity Range | 100-15,000 cP | 50-50,000 cP |
| pH Stability | 5-9 | 3-11 |

FAQS on carboxymethylated cellulose
Q: What is carboxymethylated cellulose?
A: Carboxymethylated cellulose is a chemically modified cellulose derivative where carboxymethyl groups replace hydroxyl groups, enhancing water solubility and functionality for industrial applications like food, pharmaceuticals, and textiles.
Q: How is sodium carboxymethyl cellulose manufactured?
A: Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) is produced by reacting cellulose with sodium hydroxide and monochloroacetic acid, followed by purification and drying to create a water-soluble polymer.
Q: What factors affect sodium carboxymethyl cellulose solubility?
A: Solubility depends on the degree of substitution (DS), pH, temperature, and ionic strength. Higher DS and neutral pH typically improve solubility in aqueous solutions.
Q: Is sodium carboxymethyl cellulose soluble in organic solvents?
A: No, sodium CMC is primarily water-soluble but insoluble in most organic solvents like ethanol or acetone due to its hydrophilic carboxymethyl groups.
Q: What industries use carboxymethylated cellulose?
A: It is widely used in food as a thickener, in pharmaceuticals as a binder, in cosmetics for viscosity control, and in oil drilling fluids for lubrication.
Q: How does carboxymethylation alter cellulose properties?
A: Carboxymethylation increases hydrophilicity, improves chemical reactivity, and enhances solubility while retaining biodegradability, making it more versatile than native cellulose.
Q: Can sodium carboxymethyl cellulose dissolve in cold water?
A: Yes, high-purity sodium CMC with sufficient DS dissolves in cold water, though higher temperatures may accelerate hydration and dispersion.
