  • Applications

    Carmellose sodium, also known as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), is a cellulose ether used as a thickener, stabilizer, and binder in a range of formulations, and it also acts as a rheology modifier in many solutions. In food processing, it serves as a thickener and texture enhancer; in cosmetics and personal care, it functions as a thickener and stabilizer; in pharmaceuticals, it serves as an excipient, binder, and may participate in controlled-release matrices; in coatings and inks, it is used as a thickener and rheology modifier; in household cleaning products, it helps stabilize emulsions and increase viscosity; in agriculture, it is used as a suspending agent for pesticide formulations.
