Quick Dissolve CMC / Fast Dissolve CMC / Instant CMC
SENTAI Liquid Detergent Grade CMC Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose Thickening Agent REPLACE hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) and Hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose (also referred as CMC and Carboxy Methyl Cellulose) can briefly be described as an anionic water-soluble polymer produced from naturally occurring cellulose by etherification, substituting the hydroxyl groups with carboxymethyl groups on the cellulose chain.
Being readily dissolved in hot or cold water, Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose CMC can be produced in different chemical and physical properties.
These properties can affect the performance of the product (CMC) in the application, furthermore can be essential for optimizing the production costs.
There are a number of parameters which define the properties of the Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose CMC.
√ Purity (active CMC content): inevitably CMC powder is produced with by products that are sodium salts which comes in the product Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose content in the product is the purity.
√ Viscosity: one of the most interesting characteristics of the CMC powder is the viscosity which can be from low to high. It is measured mostly by digital viscometers at certain temperatures in different solution rates; such as 1%, 2% or 4%.
√ Degree of Substituion: is the average number of sodium carboxymethyl groups per anhydroglucose unit on the cellulose back bone. This parameter in some application areas is quite important to control in the product.
√ Physical form: the CMC powder can be produced in fine powder to dust-free granule.
Unique Functions
Thanks to its versatility, CMC can provide different functions and that is what it owes for being used in a range of industries.
√Solubility
√Rheology
√Adsorption on surfaces
These main characteristics help our CMC provide control over properties of the aqueous systems by establishing effects of
√ Thickening
√ Binding
√ Film forming
√ Stabilizing
√ Protective colloid
√ Water retention
√ Thixotropy
Detergent grade CMC:
CMC can be used as THICKENER / thickening agent for liquid detergents, thickening agent for soap.
Detergent grades are mainly used in powder and cream type for detergent production, as well as in soap making industry.
With the character of emulsifying and gel protection, CMC will produce the anion during washing and it makes the washed surface and the dirt granule be negatively charged. It prevents re-sticking of the dirt which will be removed by detergent during the cleaning rinsing process. So, the dirt granule has the phase separation property in aqueous phase, and has the repellency with the washed material surface of solid phase. Place dirt then deposit on the washed material, and it can make the white textile keep the whiteness and colored textile bright. CMC can replace hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) and Hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) as THICKENER for liquid detergents, which can reduce production cost.
In making soap, adding an appropriate amount of CMC helps to greatly improve the quality of soap. It enables soap to be pliable and flexible and thus convenient for pressing and processing.
The different types of detergent grades of CMC are produced in the limits of detergent grade specifications but they will be divided into different variations due to customer demands. The customer satisfaction, price sensitivity and other expectations are fully covered by these variations.
CMC PAC Oil Drilling Grade:
CMC and PAC can reduce water loss, and increase viscosity in drilling fluid, cementing fluid and fracturing fluid. They play the roles of protecting the wall of well, taking drilling trifles, protecting drilling bit, preventing mud loss and increasing drilling rate.
Usage: add to mud directly or glue solution preparation.
Addition: 0.1-0.3% in fresh water mud; 0.5-0.8% in salt water mud.
CMC Food Grade
CMC is widely used in food industry, it play the roles of taste improvement, thickening and stabilization when used in various kinds of dairy drinks and seasonings. As an additive of molding, taste improvement, anti-fragmentation, water retaining and tenacity strengthening, CMC is also used in ice cream, bread, cake, biscuit, instant noodle and fast paste foods.
The recommended addition is 0.3-1.0%.
CMC Textile Grade
Is ready to replace traditional sodium alginate with about half of the cost.
CMC Ceramic Grade
Can be used for water preserving in concrete paste and color paste, as adhesive in concrete, sand, and in adhesive layer for wall paper installation.CMC is used for ceramic embryo, glazing pulp and colored glaze in ceramic industry.
Addition: 0.03%-0.2% used in ceramic embryo; 0.05-0.2% used in glazing pulp; 1.4-4.0% used in colored glaze.
CMC Toothpaste Grade
CMC has an efficiency of adhesion and molding when used in toothpaste, and stabilizes the quality of toothpaste owing to good compatibleness.
The recommended addition is 0.5-1.5%.
CMC Papermaking Grade:
Our CMC can totally replace Finnfix 2, Finnfix 5, Finnfix 10, Finnfix 30, CPKelco CMC, Bondwell QP-10, QX-5, QX-10
CMC displays many excellent performance in paper-making technology. it is higher valued by the majority of paper engineers and is widely used in the production of paper and paperboard, such as paper and paperboard coating process, coating rheology modifier, water - retention agent, film-forming agent, auxiliary adhesives, wet end retention enhancers and surface sizing agents, grinding aids, filler modifier and the flocculating agent which used in waste water treatment etc. We have different paper making grades of CMC to meet the different customers' requirements.
Other Industries
As coagulant, water retaining, thickener and binder, Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose CMC is also used in paint, carpet gum, mosquito coil incense, tobacco, electric welding, mining, battery, printing and others.Detailed Photos
1) Fast Dissolve CMC Powder:
Because of CMC's characteristics, when dissolves in water, it used to get caking which causes difficulty in beating operation process. It not only increases the production energy consumption and cost of labor, but also reduces the production efficiency.
In order to solve the above problems, we have made achievement on the CMC powder surface treatment, developed the CMC with good dispersion, no agglomeration and fast dissolution.
Just pour the CMC directly into cold water, stir gently. Solution will become sticky from the first 15 minutes, and it will be absolutely dissolved and viscosity stable within 30 minutes. After that, the other materials can be added with the CMC solution.
2) Quick dissolve CMC Granule:
Powdered CMC has clumping phenomenon when dissolving, which affects the dissolution speed and raises dust. After granulation of CMC, there is no clumping phenomenon and it can be dissolved quickly and the dust is eliminated.
Sentai adopts foreign advanced production equipment for special treatment of cmc products. Granular sodium carboxymethyl cellulose CMC can swell quickly, dissolve quickly, no lumps in water, solving the dissolution problems of the user, which is also friendly to the environment, reduces the cost of workshop cleaning.
Product Parameters
Powder form instant CMC are usually of high viscosity. it's similar and also can replace hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) and Hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) in some industries.
Instant CMC is widely used as coating/painting thickener, liquid detergency thickening agent, ceramic suspending agent, textile printing thickener and also used in oil drilling industry, etc.

Our Advantages
As our chief engineer has worked for
Ashland for over 20 years,
our technology originates from the world-renowned companies, and we are one of the member of
China Cellulose Industry Association since 2012 which assure the stable and high quality CMC for customers.
Let's see the picture on the left side. There are two cups of instant CMC solution which dissolved in the same conditions.
The left cup was produced by another company. The solution was turbid.
The right one was made by Sentai, which is as clear as pure water.
Not only the appearance is better, our viscosity is also more stable after stored for a long time. Other company's CMC viscosity is easily to drop.
