Wholesale Carboxymethyl Cellulose Powder

Carboxymethyl cellulose is a white powdery polymer compound based on natural cellulose and finely chemically modified. Carboxymethyl cellulose is odorless, tasteless, non-toxic, and appears as a white or slightly yellow powder. It is not only soluble in water and can quickly form high viscosity and stable colloidal solutions, but also has excellent thickening, suspension stability, film formation, and water retention properties. Carboxymethyl cellulose plays an indispensable role in various fields such as food, medicine, daily chemical, textile, and papermaking, helping to improve product quality, enhance stability, and strengthen functionality.

With the increasing demand of consumers for food quality and taste, carboxymethyl cellulose is becoming more and more widely used as a thickener, stabilizer, and emulsifier in the food industry, especially in the fields of healthy food and special diets, where the demand for high-quality carboxymethyl cellulose continues to grow. Carboxymethyl cellulose, as a drug excipient in pharmaceutical preparations, has cellulose functions such as thickening, emulsification, and stability, and its application is gradually expanding. With the growth of the global pharmaceutical market and the continuous advancement of pharmaceutical formulation technology, the market demand for carboxymethyl cellulose in the pharmaceutical industry will also maintain stable growth. Carboxymethyl cellulose also plays an important role as a thickener, dispersant, and flow aid in fields such as oil extraction, textile printing and dyeing, and papermaking. The sustained development of these industries will provide new growth points for the carboxymethyl cellulose market.

As a professional cellulose factory,we select high-quality and pure natural cellulose as raw materials, such as wood, cotton, sugarcane bagasse, etc. Crush, screen, rinse, and dry the raw materials to ensure that the fineness, purity, and dryness of cellulose meet production requirements. Mix the pre treated cellulose with sodium hydroxide solution and perform alkalization reaction under certain temperature and time conditions to generate alkaline cellulose. Mix alkaline cellulose with sodium chloroacetate solution and carry out etherification reaction under moderate temperature and time conditions to generate sodium carboxymethyl cellulose. Wash the product after etherification reaction multiple times with water to remove impurities such as unreacted sodium chloroacetate and sodium hydroxide. Perform acid-base neutralization treatment on the washed product and adjust the pH value of the product to the neutral range. Dry the neutralized carboxymethyl cellulose product to remove moisture and obtain a dried carboxymethyl cellulose solid. Grind the dried carboxymethyl cellulose solid to obtain a uniform carboxymethyl cellulose powder. Sieve the crushed carboxymethyl cellulose powder to remove particles that do not meet the particle size requirements, ensuring the uniformity of the product’s particle size. Package the screened carboxymethyl cellulose powder according to customer requirements in different specifications and forms.

Carboxymethyl cellulose has good water solubility, but it needs to be thoroughly stirred during the dissolution process to avoid clumping and ensure uniform dispersion. Secondly, the viscosity of carboxymethyl cellulose is influenced by various factors such as temperature, pH value, and concentration. It is recommended to conduct a small-scale test before use to determine the optimal conditions for use. In terms of storage, please keep it dry, avoid light, and avoid direct contact with strong oxidants to ensure product stability.
