Feature
Carboxymethyl Cellulose's aqueous solution has the functions of thickening, film-forming, adhesion, moisturizing, colloidal protection, emulsification, suspension, etc. It is widely used in petroleum, food, medicine, textile, papermaking and other industries, and is the most important cellulose ether.

Application
In the food industry, Carboxymethyl Cellulose is commonly used as a thickener, stabilizer and emulsifier. It improves the texture and mouthfeel of foods and increases viscosity and consistency. Carboxymethyl Cellulose can also be used to make low-fat foods, frozen foods, pastries, etc.
Carboxymethyl Cellulose is also widely used in pharmaceutical, textile, paper and paint industries. In the pharmaceutical field, CMC is often used as a sustained-release agent and stabilizer for drugs. In the textile and paper industries, CMC can be used as a binder and reinforcement. In the paint industry, CMC can increase the viscosity and stability of coatings.
