CMC (Carboxy methyl cellulose)
CMC or Carboxy methyl cellulose is produced in different grades and its capabilities can be called colorless, odorless and unpleasant. CMC has good properties against microbes compared to other materials and can maintain its properties in different conditions. CMC has a good solubility in cold water. CMC has viscosity and concentration characteristics and prevents crystal growth. Also, CMC is an effective factor in dealing with hydrolysis, heat, oxidation and biological degradation.
CMC Applications
CMC is using in food and some other industries such as cosmetic, health, paper, textile, drilling in a wide range, due to CMC properties and specifications.
CMC in food industries
CMC using in food industries. CMC can be mentioned as a substitute for gelatin, which is economical in terms of its preservation, concentration, and stabilization properties. CMC has a significant impact on preserving the freshness and taste of food, and its presence can have an effect on increasing the amount of food consumption and can be used as an essential factor in food additives. CMC is used as a factor in preventing the melting of biscuits, cakes, candies, canned food, frozen food, drinks and juice compote.
CMC in Medical, cosmetic, pharmaceutical,health industry
CMC is used in shampoo, beard paste and hand cream due to its suspending, pus separation, skin protection and stabilization properties, and CMC is hydrophilicity is also used in medicinal tablets. CMC has also been used in the repair of wrist, knee and side bones, so that after injection it prevents cracking, destruction and erosion.
CMC in Textile
CMC using in textile as an agent in weft and weft coordination, thickener, water absorbent, raw material in finishing, fiber adhesive, layer formation, wear-resistant and cotton and linen fiber fabrics due to CMC property by light weight and preventing Destruction and corruption are used.
CMC in Paint and resin industry
CMC is also used in the dyeing industry as a factor in the viscosity and color of the emulsion, which has a good effect on the movement of the brush. CMC is also used in solution paint as a preservative in Al absorption, particle suspension, concentrator and a hand sanitizer.
CMC in Detergent,soap and paper industry
CMC in Detergent and soap industry, one of the characteristics of CMC in detergents is its high power in dissolving fats in a way that prevents dead pus.
CMC in paper industry, CMC or Carboxy methyl cellulose is used in the paper industry for uniformity, anti-brittleness, and is also an effective factor in increasing the elasticity and hardness of paper. CMC is also used as an effective agent in forming an adhesive layer, improving the surface, strength and polishing of paper.
CMC in Ceramic tile industry
CMC in Ceramic tile industry, using as a suitable factor in water absorption, retainer in the strength of the mold and stabilizer in the molds, which CMC has an effect on the beauty of the product, and is a factor in order to prevent the creation of cracks and bubbles, which also increases adhesion and malleability. CMC is effective, this material is also effective in improving the spreading power of the glaze.
CMC in Drilling industry
CMC in Drilling industry, is also used as an effective factor in strengthening drilling mud in a way that can control fluid loss. Also, CMC or Carboxy methyl cellulose is used as a factor in water absorption and storage, and CMC is used as a sealing agent in the well wall, concentrator and soil compactor. CMC is also a colloidal thickener and is used to prevent deposits inside the drill bit.
CMC Packing
CMC is packing in 25 kg sacks. Also based on customer orders sacks of CMC can be loaded on pallet or put in a Big bag.
CMC export destination
CMC mostly offered by customers who are manufacturing the best quality foods, Medical products, soap and detergent, paper, Textile, and drilling. So, we are exporting CMC to African, European, South American, East Asian countries.Our CMC is producing, packing and exporting to mention above destinations, under Iran Chemical Mine authorization by the best Iranian CMC raw materials in accordance with ASTM standard.For taking updated price for Carboxy methyl cellulose and knowing more about further details, please contact us by our contact lines/email.
