CMC Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose
The perfect combination of versatility and stability
CMC is an anionic water-soluble polymer based on renewable cellulosic raw material. It functions as a rheology modifier, binder, dispersant, and an excellent film former. These attributes make it a preferred choice as a bio-based hydrocolloid in multiple applications.
We have been producing CMC/cellulose gum since 1944 under well-recognized brands to deliver tailored solutions with many benefits for a wide range of industries.
For the food and beverage industry, Akucell® and Cekol® cellulose gum high purity grades provide multiple benefits such as improved mouthfeel and protein stabilization. Moreover, these grades can be used in various personal care and pharmaceutical applications.
Industrial applications such as paper surface treatment, fabric care, textiles, and ceramics take advantage of the flow control, water retention, and film-forming capabilities of our Finnfix® and Calexis® CMC.
In mining operations, Celect® and Finnfix®CMC products are developed specifically for mineral flotation and depressants.
To control fluid loss and provide strong rheological control in the oilfield, our Gabroil® CMC and Staflo® PAC extend the performance of water-based drilling additives.
Cekol® CMC is used in batteries and battery storage systems as a binder in the anodes and to reinforce the separator.
