CAS #9002-89-5
Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) is a cellulose derivative that is widely used as a water-soluble, anionic polymer in various industrial and commercial applications. It is produced by chemically modifying cellulose, a natural polymer derived from wood or cotton, with carboxymethyl groups. This modification imparts water-solubility and enhances the functionality of CMC, making it an essential ingredient in a wide range of industries, including food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, textiles, and paper.
