SODIUM CARBOXYMETHYL CELLULOSE (CMC)
 It is the chemical combination of dissolving pulp, monochlorasetic acid and caustic soda. Purification operation with Alcohol, CMC can be used in Food or Pharmaceutical Industry depends on its active content. The general formula is
 CMC is an anionic and water-soluble polymer and it is used where hydrophilic protective colloids need to be used. Its most important features which increase its commercial value are diminution of water fluidity, maintenance of solids in suspension in aqueous medium, stabilization of emulsions, absorption of humidity, formation of films resistant to fats, grease and organic solvents, physiological innocuousness, a certain degree of adhesiveness, and good microbiological stability.

CMC can be produced either powder or granular according to customer needs.

Usually specifications for CMC are indicating purity (active content, CMC%), Moisture %, DS(Degree of Substitution), Viscosity, Bulk density, and pH.
