- Product Background
Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) is an anionic, water soluble, cellulose derivative with carboxymethyl groups. It works as a strong pellet binder to produce pellets with a superior durability and hardness at low inclusion levels.
- As pellet binder - It is best choice for duck feed to achieve superior Pellet Durability Index (PDI) and desired pellet hardness. Also to achieve water stability of shrimp pellets.
- For pet food - It can partially substitute blood plasma protein and / or carrageenan in the formula for cost reduction.
- For aquafeed - Achieve improved water stability, moisture and distribution of ingredients.
- Product Highlights
- As Pellet Binder
- Improves pellets integrity, durability and stability
- Reduces nutrient leaching and prevent fragmentation and abrasion of pellets during handling
- Effective at low inclusion levels
- Non-toxic at recommended inclusion levels
- Improve pellet quality in ruminant feed even with high fiber inclusion
- For Aquafeed
- Pellet binder for aquafeed
- Improves pellets integrity, durability and stability
- Reduces nutrient leaching and prevent fragmentation and abrasion of pellets during handling
- Highest water stability, recommended also for shrimp feed
- Effective at low inclusion levels
- Starch replacement in fish feed (salmon)
- Allows partial substitution of starch in the formula, releasing space for other nutrients critical for the nutritional value
- Pellet binder for aquafeed
- For Pet Food
- Moist foods
- Fast and efficient viscosity build up of gravy from coated kibbles
- Efficient thickening and water binding in canned pet food
- Improved binding of pate-like products
- Uniform distribution of fat and meat
- Keep feed freshness
- Cost efficient replacer to reduce blood plasma protein
- Semi-moist foods
- Excellent extrusion aid
- Even distribution of fine particles
- Dry foods
- Efficient thickening and water binding with reduced disintegration
- Moist holding
- Good texture

Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Application Format
- Food & Nutrition Applications
- Oral Care Applications
- Inclusion Level
As Pellet Binder
- CMC is recommended at the rate of 0.5-1 kg per ton of feed depending on feed formulation and processing conditions.
As Starch Replacer
- 5 or 6 parts of starch can be replaced by 1 part of CMC. It can be used for this application up to 1%.
- Application
CMC is recommended to be added directly into the mixer. For best results, ensure accurate addition and thorough mixing of the product.
- Product Applications
CEKOL 100000 product is a versatile additive due to its ability to retain water, thicken liquids, regulate flow properties, suspend and stabilize dispersion and act as a film forming agent.

Storage & Handling
- Shelf Life
- 3 years
- Storage Conditions
- The shelf life is 3 years from date of production provided when the material is stored in the original bags under dry and cool conditions.
- The viscosity of cellulose gum may decrease slightly in time.
- Storage Conditions
Store in a roofed and well-ventilated area in the unopened original package. Shelf life for CEKOL 100000 product is 36 months from the manufacturing date. However, as a result of a natural process the viscosity of Cellulose Gum may decrease in time. We guarantee that the product will meet the viscosity specification for 12 months after the indicated "Manufacturing Date". After these 12 months the product can still be used safely up to the indicated shelf life end date, but may need a slight dosage correction in order to give optimum performance in the application.
