Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC): The Ultimate Functional Polymer

Your High-Purity Solution for Thickening, Binding, and Water Retention Across Industries

What is Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC)?

Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC), often simply called CMC, is an anionic, water-soluble cellulose ether. Derived from natural cellulose, this versatile cellulosic polymer is modified to create one of the most widely used and cost-effective hydrocolloids on the market.

CMC is valued for its ability to modify the rheology of aqueous systems. It functions as an exceptional thickener, binder, stabilizer, film-former, and water-retention agent, making it an indispensable cellulose additive in countless industrial and consumer products.
