Product overview
Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) is a hydrocolloid evaluated for thickening, stabilization, suspension and texture control. It is commonly evaluated for Food thickening and stabilization, Pharmaceutical and personal-care rheology, Detergent soil-suspension systems. Supply for food, feed or healthcare use requires the appropriate grade, specification and destination-market compliance review.
Function & Usage
