Application fields of CMC

CMC is widely used in many fields, such as hydrosol, thickener, suspending agent, film-forming active agent, emulsifying stabilizer, sizing agent, coating agent, adhesive, protective colloid, etc.      

1. Detergent: CMC is the basic component of powder detergent, especially non phosphorus powder. It has colloidal properties, which can prevent dust from polluting textile fibers. When using synthetic detergents, this often happens. It can stabilize foam, protect the hands of carboxymethyl cellulose CMC can be added to non-ionic liquid detergent, and also prevent textile fiber from absorbing dust repeatedly. CMC can also be used as thickener, stabilizer, soap and detergent binder and plasticizer.

2. Drilling: CMC can be used as the basic additive of drilling mud, as protective colloid and viscosity regulator, and reduce filtrate? Special models can be developed to adapt to the characteristics of drilling mud. CMC can be used in oil and gas drilling, well drilling, drilling, hollow drilling, horizontal drilling and ore drilling. It has high water loss control ability, CMC is also an effective fluid loss additive. At a lower dosage, CMC can control the water loss at a higher level without affecting other properties of the mud? The mud cake formed is of good quality, firm and tough? It has good temperature resistance and excellent salt resistance. Under a certain salt concentration, it has better fluid loss reduction ability and maintains certain rheological properties. Compared with the water soluble in salt water, the viscosity almost does not change, In addition, CMC can be used as cementing fluid to prevent fluid from entering pores and fractures, and as fracturing fluid to control fluid loss into oil wells.     

3. Coating: CMC is a good adhesive for filler and gypsum, and can be used for thickening and stabilizing emulsion paint.     

4. Papermaking: used as sizing agent in papermaking industry.     

5. Building materials: due to the plasticization of CMC, CMC is usually used in traditional gypsum materials to slow down the hardening process, so the service life of gypsum can be prolonged after mixing.      

6. Textiles: carboxymethyl cellulose CMC can be coated on sand cloth to protect the fabric during weaving, retain good elasticity and improve smoothness. CMC is also a good finishing agent, compatible with most standard products? It improves the touch of the fiber and keeps it naturally bright color.      

7. Wallpaper paste: CMC is very suitable for pasting wallpaper? This paste is easy to prepare and use. It is not easy to contaminate or discolor the wallpaper. CMC is a good pigment adhesive when used for printing wallpaper.      

8. Pottery making: CMC is used as an adhesive and thickener for enamel, and also as an adhesive and plasticizer for ceramic clay. 9. Food industry: it is the stabilizer of ice cream, thickener of jam and jelly, preserved fruit, etc. it is used in sugar, juice, food, bread, frozen food, canned food, instant food, beverage, etc. CMC is widely used in most of cattle feed, chicken feed, pet feed and fish feed.       

10. Pharmaceutical: CMC is used as excipient in a variety of pharmaceuticals? For some emulsions and suspensions, it can be used as an excellent stabilizer, as a base material of ointments and as a carrier of various antibiotics. It is also commonly used in tablets, sugar coating and eye / ear / nose drops.       

11. Cosmetics: CMC is used as a thickener for toothpaste, as well as for skin cream and shampoo, bath liquid and shampoo.       

12. Electrode: CMC specially used for electrode application, which is added into coating electrode compound during extrusion as adhesive, plasticizer and finishing agent. 13. Pesticides: CMC is used as thickener and stabilizer in insecticides and fungicides? When sprayed by aircraft, it can prolong the efficacy.
