Description
Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) is an organic compound with the chemical formula [C6H7O2(OH)2OCH2COONa]n, a carboxymethylated derivative of cellulose. It is produced by the reaction of natural cellulose with caustic soda and monochloroacetic acid. CMC is a white fibrous or granular powder, odorless, tasteless, and hygroscopic. It readily disperses in water to form a transparent colloidal solution. Its molecular weight ranges from several thousands to millions. The product is standardized by viscosity (e.g., 1500 mPa·s) and particle size (e.g., 80 mesh), ensuring stable technological parameters. It is important for purchasers due to its stability, solubility, and wide range of applications as a thickener and stabilizer.
Applications
Used in the food industry as a thickener, stabilizer, and emulsifier in dairy products, beverages, and baked goods. Also applied in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.
