Cellogen®
CMC is a line of high purity sodium carboxymethylcellulose polymers.
The "HP" grades of Cellogen CMC meet or exceed all FDA standards
for use in foods, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. Cellogen CMC
also has application in textiles, paper, ceramics, animal feed,
and building materials.
Cellogen
CMC has many unique features. An especially important one is
the consistency and uniformity from one production lot to the next.
This results in a line of CMC products with very tight viscosity
ranges, degree of substitution, and particle size for each grade.
Cellogen CMC can provide the following functions:
- Thickening
agent
- Protective
Colloid (Has wide compatibility with other gums / stabilizers)
- Water retention
agent
- Rheology
or flow control agent
- Resistant
to heat, enzyme and bacterial decomposition
Cellogen
CMC is available in many grades in order to serve the vast and
diverse market applications for CMC. The variety of Cellogen
CMC grades are based on:
- Purity
- Viscosity
- Degree of
Substitution
- Particle
Size
Cellogen
CMC is a powdered product that is characterized by very rapid
solubility and viscosity yield. Because of its extremely fast hydration,
it is normally dry blended with other ingredients or slurried in
a non-aqueous liquid before mixing in water. If lumps or "fish-eyes"
result from mixing, continued mild agitation will disperse them.
Cellogen
CMC is packaged in multi-wall paper bag with an inner heat sealed
polyethylene liner. Net weight is 50 pounds per bag.
