Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)

Water-soluble polymer made from natural cellulose materials.

Our company manufactures and sells water-soluble polymers (WSP) made from cellulose, a 100% natural material, as well as micro-fiber products developed using Daicel's unique technology. Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) has many grades based on viscosity (molecular weight) and degree of etherification (degree of substitution). We offer a wide range of products, from extremely high viscosity grades to lower ones, allowing you to choose the appropriate grade for your intended use. [Features] ■ One of the most commonly distributed cellulose-based water-soluble polymers ■ Many grades available based on viscosity (molecular weight) and degree of etherification (degree of substitution) ■ Anionic and easily affected by the presence of metal ions and salts ■ The degree of influence varies with viscosity and degree of etherification (the higher the degree of etherification, the less influence it is subject to) ■ Quickly dissolves in water and imparts appropriate viscosity → thickening function ■ Excellent dispersibility, preventing the sedimentation of fine particles → dispersion and stabilization function ■ Can react with polyvalent metal ions (such as Al3+) to produce a uniform gel, among other properties *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
