Products in Binders & Disintegrants: Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose

Gumix Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) also known as CMC or Cellulose Gum, is a water-soluble anionic linear polymer and derivative of cellulose, which is a product of cotton or wood pulp. CMC is produced by treating cellulose with sodium hydroxide and subsequently with sodium monochloroacetate and then washing it.

Gelycel® F1-3500 is anionic cellulose ether, soluble in water, used in the food industry as a stabilizer, thickener, binder and water retaining agent.

Luctocel® is a Sodium salt of Carboxymethyl ether of cellulose, which is anionic in nature. Luctocel can be used as thickener, binder, emulsifier, stabilizer and colloidal suspending agent in food & personal care systems and as a binder, thickener, stabilizer or film forming and tableting excipient in pharmaceutical systems.

AEP Colloids Sodium CMC-Carboxymethyl Cellulose sometimes referred to as CMC or Cellulose Gum is a derivative of cellulose. The cellulose used to manufacture CMC is a product of cotton or wood pulp. Prepared by treating cellulose with sodium hydroxide, then with sodium monochloroacetate, and finally washing to remove the excess salts, Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose of various grades can be produced. This anionic liner polymer has found many uses in technical applications, as a food additive and in the pharmaceutical industry. Cellulose gum has the ability to withstand boiling, freezing and even subfreezing temperatures for a short time allowing it to be a handy addition during the processing of specialty foods. The usage of CMC as a binder, thickener, stabilizer, or for water retention lead to its wide acceptance as a direct food additive.

Shandong Yulong Cellulose Technology Croscarmellose sodium (CCNa) is a cross-linked, partially carboxymethyl cellulose sodium salt, with a white or off-white appearance powder. CCNa is hygroscopic and swells in water to form a suspension..
