Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose powder has superior functionality in terms of adhesive, thickening, stabilizing, emulsifying, water-retaining, tenacity strengthening, suspension, film-forming, etc, is widely used in various industries, such as food and beverage processing, ceramic, pharmaceutical, toothpaste, oil drilling, paper making, textile, and dyeing, etc. In the food industry, CMC can be compounded with other food stabilizers and emulsifiers to complement each other, strengthen each other's effect and reduce the production cost.

The main indicators for measuring the quality of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose are the viscosity, degree of substitution (D.S) and purity. We divide sodium carboxymethyl cellulose into two types, type 6 and type 9 based on D.S value.
