What Is Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC)?

Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC, cellulose gum), CAS 9000-11-7, is a water-soluble cellulose polymer. It thickens, suspends and stabilizes in beverages, dairy, ice cream, sauces and bakery, and is used in toothpaste, detergents and drilling fluids.

The specification sets purity ≥99.5%, viscosity ≥1,000 mPa·s at 1%, degree of substitution 0.7–0.9 and pH 6.5–8.5 at 25°C. Compare viscosity at the same concentration and test conditions.

It is not regulated as dangerous goods. Food use requires a grade and documents that meet the rules of the destination market.

As a CMC supplier and exporter in China, ZXCHEM packs the white to yellow powder in 25 kg bags or 1,000 kg jumbo bags.
