Sodium Carboxy Methyl Cellulose (CMC), also known as cellulose gum, is a highly effective additive for improving product and processing characteristics in various fields of application. It functions as a thickener, water retainer, emulsifier, stabilizer, protective colloid, suspending agent, gelling agent, and flow control agent. It is also used as film-forming and binding agent. CMC is widely used in the food, personal care products,industrial paints, ceramics, oil drilling, building materials and etc.
Properties of Celopro CMC: - Easy dissolve in cold and hot water, stable viscosity - Possess good emulsion and solid dispersing capabilities - Form firm and transparent coating - Not easy to deteriorate - Not dissolved in fat and organic solvents - No adverse health effects to human body - Stable quality in high purity products - Different D.S. and viscosity products
Application Properties: - As a protective colloid, increase stability ofthe emulsion-polymer system in a wide pH range. - Help pigments dispersed into coatings. - Impart excellent effects of adhesion by coloring matter. - Increase the viscosity - Increase leveling property. - Improve spattering resistance and hangingresistance.
