Industrial Grade Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) is a water-soluble anionic polymer derived from cellulose through etherification, in which carboxymethyl groups replace some of the hydroxyl groups in the cellulose chain. Known for its versatility, it serves as a binder, thickener, suspension agent, and stabilizer in various industrial applications. These include oil drilling, textile processing, paper manufacturing, detergents, and coatings. The polymer’s ability to enhance viscosity, improve stability, and modify rheological properties makes it indispensable in optimizing industrial processes and product performance across multiple sectors.
