High-Purity Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose for Industrial, Pharmaceutical & Laboratory Applications
Thermo Scientific™ Carboxymethyl Cellulose Sodium Salt (CMC) is a water-soluble, high-viscosity polysaccharide widely used as a thickener, stabilizer, emulsifier, and rheology modifier in industrial, pharmaceutical, food, and research applications. With a viscosity of 800 mPa.s, this high-purity cellulose derivative is essential for formulations requiring enhanced water retention, binding properties, and controlled viscosity.
With a melting point above 300°C and ambient storage stability, CMC is ideal for coating applications, controlled drug release, food-grade formulations, and chemical research.
