Other Industrial Grade CMC (Carboxymethyl Cellulose)

Due to its diverse applications and excellent adaptability, CMC is an essential raw material and additive across many industries. It serves as one of the top active additives in the synthetic detergent sector, performing emulsifying, thickening, homogenizing, and colloid-protecting functions. In the welding rod industry, it acts as a lubricant and gas generator, characterized by effective extrusion, lubricity, and shedding resistance. In the battery industry, it functions as a binder, thickener, and dispersant.

Detergents:

Thanks to its emulsifying and gel-protecting properties, CMC produces negative ions during washing, which impart a negative charge to both the dirt particles and the washed surfaces. This causes the dirt to undergo phase separation in the aqueous solution and distances itself from the solid surfaces of the washed items. As a result, dirt is effectively mobilized and kept away, helping to maintain the whiteness of white textiles and enhancing the brightness of colored fabrics.


Mosquito-Repellent Incense:

In this application, CMC is utilized as a binder. Compared to traditional binders, it offers superior adhesion with lower usage rates, making it ideal for creating thin smoke or smokeless mosquito-repellent incense. It is resistant to mold and does not break during storage and transportation.


Catalysts:

CMC is also employed as a binder in catalytic applications.


Building Materials:

In construction, CMC is used as a retarder, water retention agent, thickener, and binder. Its incorporation into plaster enhances workability in mechanized construction tasks such as wall building, plastering, and caulking. By adding CMC to the plaster, the setting time is extended, allowing for more efficient use.


Tobacco:

In the tobacco industry, CMC serves as both a binder and a film former. When combined with tobacco stems and leaf powder, it aids in producing tobacco slices after the rolling process.


Welding:

In welding applications, CMC is used as a glaze slurry for the ceramic coatings on electric welding rods. This enhances the bonding properties and brushability of the ceramic, while also ensuring that CMC burns away completely at high temperatures without leaving residue. The result is improved appearance and uniformity of the welding rods, as well as a reduction in damage rates.



Industrial Grade CMC is a multifunctional carboxymethyl cellulose product designed for industrial applications that require thickening, binding, emulsifying, stabilizing, water retention, lubrication, film formation, colloid protection, or dispersion control.
