It is mainly applied to water-based system products with high liquidity requirements. It is easy to disperse and dissolve.
Core Benefits of Celotech Ruico Carboxymethyl Cellulose
The Carboxymethyl Cellulose produced by Celotech Ruico has undergone strict control over all performance indicators during the production process. Its water retention rate can reach over 95%, effectively preventing cracking and layering problems that may occur in building materials, coatings, daily chemical products, ceramics, etc., due to water loss during use.
Carboxymethyl cellulose possesses multiple functions, including water retention, thickening, binding, and emulsification, and can replace various single-function additives, thereby reducing formulation development and production costs. We have a complete upstream and downstream industrial chain, ensuring stable raw material prices with minimal fluctuations.
Celotech Ruico Carboxymethyl Cellulose Properties
It can quickly disperse and dissolve in both hot and cold water, without forming clumps or precipitates, and is compatible with other water-soluble substances.
Even after being left to stand in an aqueous solution for a long time, or within a wide range of temperatures and pH values, the viscosity can remain stable, ensuring the stability of the formulation system for use.
It has excellent emulsifying and solid-dispersion capabilities, which can effectively stabilize the emulsion system and form a fine, uniform dispersion liquid. Moreover, the dispersion effect is long-lasting.
When mixed with other solutions, it can rapidly undergo crosslinking polymerization to form a continuous, dense film. The film layer is highly transparent and does not alter the substrate’s original appearance.
When used in formulations containing organic solvents, its molecular structure can remain stable, preventing problems such as swelling failure or precipitation.
Carboxymethyl cellulose does not contain any toxic substances and has no adverse effects on human health. It complies with the safety standards for international production of chemical additives.
Advantages of Carboxymethyl Cellulose Uses
Carboxymethyl cellulose is widely used in construction materials, including wall putty, cement mortar, tile adhesive, etc. CMC can significantly increase the viscosity and workability of the system, making the construction materials more operable, stable and of higher construction quality.
Carboxymethyl cellulose is an efficient and multi-functional additive in the coatings industry, and is applied in industrial coatings, architectural coatings, water-based coatings, etc. When used, it can effectively prevent product sedimentation and stratification, ensuring that the product maintains a uniform texture during storage and transportation.
In the application of detergents, CMC plays the roles of anti-re-deposition, dispersion and thickening stabilization. It is widely applicable to various cleaning products such as laundry powder, laundry detergent, and dishwashing liquid, enhancing the cleaning effect and product experience.
CMC can be used as a safe water-soluble thickening agent and stabilizer, and is employed in shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, toothpaste and skin care products. It has the function of preventing product stratification and precipitation, and can also enhance the stability and usability of the products.
Packaging and Storage
The carboxymethyl cellulose of Celotech Ruico is packaged in a 25-kilogram multi-layer paper bag, with the middle layer being polyethylene material and the inner layer being a polyethylene bag. Packaging can be customized.
It is recommended to store it sealed and avoid contact with moisture. Do not expose it to direct sunlight or place it near a heat source.
