CARBOSE ® CMC |
|
Carbose CMC is properly described as the sodium salt of
carboxymethylcellulose, a cellulose ether. More informally,
it is a water-soluble product made from naturally occurring
cellulose by grafting small anionic groups onto the cellulose backbone.
Because the cellulose is only partially modified, Carbose CMC is
more biofriendly than, for example, acrylic or other synthetic
polymers. This is because cellulose enzymes found in the
environment are still able to break down the unmodified portions
of the CMC molecule. If your application calls for adsorption, adhesion, water binding, film forming, viscosifying or dispersing, particularly in an aqueous medium, you would do well to consider the properties of Carbose CMC and the value it can bring to your product. Penn Carbose is North America's leading manufacturer of CMC for household and industrial detergents and offers a wide variety of CMC grades for specific applications.
