Carboxymethyl Cellulose, Sodium Salt, MP Biomedicals™

Product Code. 11477861

Brand: MP Biomedicals 0215056192

Description

Used as a suspending agent, stabilizer and viscosity-increasing agent. Carboxymethyl Cellulose, Sodium Salt, MP Biomedicals is a high viscosity carboxymethylcellulose (CMC). The viscosity is both concentration and temperature dependent.

The viscosity of is CMC is both concentration and temperature dependent. The viscosity of a 1% solution in water at 25°C is 1300-2200 centipoise (cps). As the temperature increases, the viscosity decreases. As the concentration increases, the viscosity increases.

CMC has a wide variety of industrial, manufacturing and pharmacological uses. It is used as a suspending agent and viscosity modifier (thickener) to stabilize emulsions. Its high viscosity is used to make a mixture which resembles a cream or lotion.

• In drilling muds
• In detergents as a soil-suspending agent
• As a chemical dispersant of oils and other carbon structures such as nanotubes
• In resin emulsion paints, adhesives, printing inks, textile sizes
• As protective colloid in general
• As stabilizer in foods
• In pharmaceuticals as a suspending agent, tablet excipient and viscosity-increasing agent
• In the development of biostructures for drug delivery, such as biofilms, emulsions and nanoparticles
