Guardian of Coating Performance: Na CMC

What is Na CMC?

Na CMC is a widely used cellulose in the world today.

Na CMC is a cellulose derivative with a degree of polymerization of glucose of 100-2000 and a relative molecular weight of 242.16.

Na CMC is a white fibrous or granular powder. Odorless, tasteless, odorless, hygroscopic, insoluble in organic solvents.

Main Applications of Na CMC

In the food industry, Na CMC is used as a thickener; in the pharmaceutical industry, it is used as a drug carrier; in daily chemicals, it is used as an adhesive and anti-redeposition agent.

In the dyeing industry, Na CMC is used as a sizing agent and a printing paste. In the petrochemical industry, it can be used as a component of oil drilling fracturing fluid.

Na CMC is an ionic cellulose ether with a wide range of uses. It is widely used in the petroleum, food, pharmaceutical, construction, and ceramic industries, and is therefore known as the "MSG of Industry."

In addition to being the main character in beautifying walls, coatings are also widely used in the furniture manufacturing industry, from the surface treatment of wooden furniture to the anti-corrosion and rust prevention of metal furniture. 

At the same time, in the field of industrial production, coatings are also used on car bodies, playing an important role in protecting the car body and preventing corrosion. The realization of these series of important functions cannot be separated from the strong support of Na CMC. 

With its unique properties, it adds significant value to coatings. It is worth noting that the Na CMC used in coatings is surface-treated; it initially exhibits hydrophobicity and easily disperses in water, fully integrating with other components in the coating before releasing viscosity, achieving thickening, emulsification, and other characteristics.
