Carboxymethyl cellulose (abbreviated as CMC) is a kind of cellulose derivative which is obtained by chemical modification of natural cellulose. Because it does not dissolve in water, so it is commonly used sodium salt, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (abbreviated CMC-Na), is still referred to as CMC. CMC is white or yellowish powder, odorless, moisture, not soluble in ethanol, soluble in water, forming a transparent colloid in the water, many uses of CMC, according to the decision of this nature.

For Food industry:
Food grade for dairy drinks and seasonings, CMC can thicken, stabilize and improve taste. In addition, CMC is also used in ice cream, bread, cake, biscuit, instant noodle and fast paste food for product molding, taste improvement, water retaining and tenacity strengthening.
For Detergent Industry:
Effectively prevent washes from becoming contaminated after being washed by synthetic detergent. Also make washing liquid more viscous and the effect of washing more stable.
For Oil drillling Industry:
Widely used in fracturing fluid, drilling fluid and well cementing fluid as fluid loss controller and tackifier. It can protect the shaft wall and prevent mud loss thus enhance recovery efficiency.
