Application of Carboxymethyl Cellulose

  1. Thickener: CMC is used as a thickening agent in food products like sauces and dressings, providing a smooth texture and preventing separation.
  2. Emulsifier: It helps stabilize emulsions in products such as ice cream and salad dressings, ensuring uniform distribution of ingredients.
  3. Stabilizer: In dairy products, CMC prevents protein aggregation and improves shelf life by maintaining consistency.
  4. Binder: In pharmaceuticals, CMC acts as a binder in tablet formulations, ensuring the integrity and stability of the final product.
  5. Film Former: In personal care products, CMC forms a protective film on the skin or hair, enhancing moisture retention and product performance.
