| PRODUCT KNOWLEDGE |
|
Sodium Carboxy
Methyl Cellulose (CMC) is |
 |
Derived
from wood cellulose and from cotton. |
|
|
A
water-soluble polymer achieved by introducing carboxyymethyl
groups along the cellulose chain. |
|
|
Odourless,
non-toxic and biodegradable. |
|
|
Produced
in three main product categories: food grade CMC(cellulose
gum), purified CMC and technical (cude) CMC. |
|
|
CMC is one of
the most versatile of all water-soluble hydrocolloids and has a
number of important properties making it useful in many
industrial applications. CMC is a multifunctional hydrocolloid
and has the ability to impart several important characteristics
to a formulation through its mode of action. |
|
CMC is
currently used in more than 200 known industrial applications
and the number is constantly rising. The large number of
publications and patents released every year further underline
the versatility and interesting new possibilities of CMC. With more than
50 years of experience with CMC, we have broad knowledge of the
product, its production and its application possibilities. If
you have any questions we are always ready to assist you. |
