The sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) is also known as sodium salt, dissolves in water and creates a transparent colloidal solution. It is a hygroscopic substance with the capacity to absorb more than 50% of water when the relative humidity is high. It can also be employed as a natural polymeric derivative in the textile, food, and detergent sectors. Carboxy Methyl Cellulose (CMC) is a fine, white powder that is odorless, tasteless, non-toxic, and inflammable. CMC stands for chemically modified cellulose. Water is dissolved, and thus controls water loss by making the liquid viscous and clear. The CMC has both high and low viscosities (LV).
Properties
It employs oil drilling, fresh water, saturated water, and sea water.It also creates viscose and regulates water loss.It lowers filtration losses.
