With the global CMC market projected to reach USD 1.97 billion by 2030 (CAGR 4.64%), papermaking applications account for 18.7% of total demand, driven by the need for stronger, more printable paper products. As a leading Chinese manufacturer with ISO 9001 and REACH certifications, Qingdao Unionchem delivers 15,000 MT annually of papermaking-grade CMC, trusted by Stora Enso and UPM for its ability to improve paper strength by 40% while reducing production costs by 20%.
Property | Unionchem Specification | Industry Standard | Performance Advantage |
Viscosity (2% Solution) | 20–6000 cps (customizable) | 50–5000 cps | Tailored for surface sizing (low viscosity) to coating (high viscosity) |
Degree of Substitution | 0.7–0.85 | 0.6–0.9 | Optimal balance of water solubility and film-forming |
Purity | ≥98% | ≥90% | Reduces machine deposits and improves coating uniformity |
pH Stability | 6.0–8.5 | 5.5–9.0 | Compatible with acidic and alkaline papermaking systems |
Performance Metrics: 0.5% CMC addition increases:
Tear strength by 35%
Smoothness by 40% (Bekk method)
Ink absorption by 25% (Case Study: German Newsprint Producer, 2024)
Mechanism: Forms a continuous film on paper surface, reducing porosity by 30% while maintaining breathability
Key Benefits:
Reduces latex binder usage by 20% when used at 1.2% dosage
Improves water retention by 50%, preventing "orange peel" defects
Enhances coating gloss to 75 GU (60° angle) with calcium carbonate pigments
Application: Ideal for high-gloss magazine paper and food packaging boards
Efficiency Gains:
Increases filler retention by 15% (calcium carbonate/kaolin)
Speeds up drainage by 12%, reducing paper machine energy consumption
Improves sheet formation, reducing formation index by 18%
Vertical Integration: From cotton linter processing to finished powder, ensuring batch consistency (viscosity variation ±50 cps)
Customization Capabilities:
Particle size control (90% through 80–200 mesh)
Low-chloride grades (<3%) for sensitive food contact papers
Global Logistics: 7-day delivery to Rotterdam/Hamburg ports with 25kg moisture-proof packaging
Eco-Friendly Production: 30% lower water consumption vs. conventional processes
Biodegradable: 80% degradation in 90 days (OECD 301B test)
Carbon Footprint: 28% lower than synthetic polymer alternatives (LCA 2024 data)
