Applications of Sodium CMC (SCMC) CASNo. 9004-32-4

In textile industry CMC as a Warp size, as a thickener in printing pastes and as an ingredient in various finishes. High film strength Thickener, good adhesion to fiber, film former.

In paint Manufacture CMC is used as a Viscosity control agent in emulsion Paints, where it also has a beneficial influence on brush ability. In distempers it is used as a binder porous surfaces like wall board, plaster etc. are sized with a CMC solution before the application of oil paints. CMC is an excellent bodying agent for fillers.

A very special property of CMC is utilized the addition of a small amount of CMC to a detergent especially a synthetic detergent results in a marked improvement of its soil suspending properties.Synthetic detergents as a class are comparatively poor in this respect and the practice of adding CMC to them is universal, but modern soap base compounds are also generally fortified in the same way.

For manufacturing of pesticides powders CMC is used to improve suppressibility and to act as a “sticker” where necessary. Oil Well Drilling: Oil well drillers use CMC as a Conditioning agent for their drilling mud.

In multi wall paper rack manufacture CMC pastes have an advantage of cleanliness and economy and in corrugated board it is used as a viscosity control agent and stabilizer for starch pastes and sometimes also an adhesive in its own right.

Ceramic Industries: In the Ceramic Industries CMC finds use as stabilizer and binder for glazes for improving green strength of moulded, thrown or slip east bodies as secondary binder for various specially product, like refractorytrowelling compound and for casting slips.
