Sodium CarboxyMethyl Cellulose
(CMC)
Chemical Nature
SidleyCel®Sodium Carboxy Methyl Cellulose (CMC) is anionic cellulose ether made from cotton fiber by alkalization, etherification, purification, drying, grinding or granulation. It has the appearance of white powder or granules and the colloid solution has functions like thickening, stabilizing, emulsifying, suspending, film forming etc. CMC is widely used in food, toothpaste, paper making, ceramics, printing and dyeing, oil drilling and other industries.
SidleyCel® CMC has benefits like good acid resistance, salt tolerance, high transparency, less free cellulose and gel particles, fast dissolution and good fluidity. 1. CMC can prevent the protein in yoghurt from coagulating and delamination. 2. CMC can make water, fat and protein well mixed, dispersed and emulsified in ice cream, avoid ice crystals, improve taste and keep uniformity of final products. 3. CMC can ensure the stability of acid drinks and extend its shelf life due to its good degree of substitution. 4. CMC itself has no calorific value and is a good choice for manufacturing low-calorie foods.
SidleyCel®CMC is applicable to the toothpaste industry. As the most important raw material for toothpaste manufacturing, it mainly plays a role in shape forming, pasting and molding, and gives toothpaste appropriate viscosity as well as certain glossiness and delicacy. 1. Good compatibility with various raw materials in toothpaste to prevent the separation of friction agent. 2. Make paste delicate, water-free, shell free and thick, extend the shelf life. 3. CMC has high transmittance, better rheological and thixotropic properties after dissolution.
