Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose(CMC)

CAS: 9004-32-4

Carboxy Methyl Cellulose(CMC) is also named as Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose,is easy soluble in both cold and hot water. Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) is a water-soluble anionic cellulose ether derived from natural cellulose through chemical modification.It provides good properties of thickening, water retention, film-forming, rheology and lubricity, which enable CMC cover a wind range of applications like food, personal care products, industrial paints, ceramics, oil drilling, building materials etc.CMC is synthesized by treating cellulose with sodium monochloroacetate in an alkaline medium, resulting in the carboxymethylation of hydroxyl (-OH) groups in the cellulose chain.

Applications of CMC in Various Industries

A. Food Industry

CMC is approved as a food additive (E466) and used as a thickener, stabilizer, emulsifier, and fat replacer in various food products.

Key Uses in Food:

  • Dairy Products (Ice Cream, Yogurt, Cheese): Enhances texture, prevents ice crystal formation.
  • Bakery Products: Improves dough stability and shelf life.
  • Beverages & Juices: Stabilizes emulsions and suspends particles.
  • Sauces & Dressings: Provides smooth consistency and prevents phase separation.
  • Low-Fat & Gluten-Free Foods: Acts as a fat replacer and improves mouthfeel.

B. Pharmaceuticals & Cosmetics

CMC is widely used in pharmaceutical formulations and personal care products due to its biocompatibility, stability, and thickening properties.

Common Uses in Pharmaceuticals & Cosmetics:

  • Oral Medications & Syrups: Used as a suspending agent to prevent sedimentation.
  • Tablet Binding & Coating: Enhances tablet disintegration and improves drug release.
  • Eye Drops & Artificial Tears: Provides lubrication and moisture retention.
  • Toothpaste & Mouthwash: Acts as a thickener and stabilizer for uniform consistency.
  • Skin Care & Hair Care: Enhances texture and hydration in lotions, creams, and shampoos.

C. Detergents & Cleaning Products

CMC is used in laundry detergents and household cleaners as a dirt suspending agent and anti-redeposition agent.

Benefits in Detergents:

  • Prevents Dirt Re-Deposition: Keeps dirt particles suspended in water, preventing them from reattaching to fabrics.
  • Improves Cleaning Performance: Enhances detergent efficiency, even in hard water conditions.
  • Increases Foam Stability: Helps create a rich, stable lather.
  • Reduces Fabric Damage: Provides a protective layer on fibers, minimizing wear and tear.

D. Oil Drilling & Industrial Applications

CMC is extensively used in oil drilling fluids, textiles, paper production, adhesives, and coatings due to its excellent rheological properties.

Key Industrial Uses:

  • Oil & Gas Industry: Used as a viscosifier and fluid loss control agent in drilling muds.
  • Paper Industry: Improves paper strength, surface smoothness, and ink retention.
  • Textile Industry: Used as a thickening agent in printing pastes and textile sizing.
  • Paints & Coatings: Enhances flow properties and pigment dispersion.
  • Construction Materials: Improves workability, water retention, and binding strength in cement-based applications.
