Factory Supply Reliable Quality CMC-6000 CMC Powder Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose

CMC-6000 is a high-viscosity Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) powder designed for reliable thickening and stability in water-based formulations. It dissolves well in water and helps build consistent viscosity, improving formulation uniformity and processing performance.

As a multifunctional cellulose derivative, CMC-6000 works as a thickener, stabilizer, emulsifier, suspending agent, and dispersant, helping reduce settling, enhance overall stability, and improve texture and sensory feel (mouthfeel) in the final formulation.

Key Benefits:

Reliable thickening power — Builds stable viscosity efficiently for consistent rheology control.

Good water solubility — Disperses and hydrates well in water-based systems for smoother processing.

Improved stability — Helps maintain uniform formulations and supports long-term consistency.

Enhanced suspension & anti-settling — Reduces particle settling and keeps solids evenly distributed.

Better dispersion performance — Helps minimize agglomeration and improves overall uniformity.

Texture & sensory feel improvement (mouthfeel) — Contributes to a smoother, more consistent feel in the final formulation.

Product Applications

CMC-6000 CMC powder is widely used across multiple industries, including construction, detergents & home care, personal care & cosmetics, and paints & coatings, where it helps provide thickening, stabilization, suspension, and dispersion in water-based systems. It is also applied in food & beverage (for suitable grades), oilfield drilling, ceramics, paper & pulp, and textile applications to improve formulation consistency, processing performance, and overall system stability.

Dosage Guideline:

CMC-6000 dosage depends on target viscosity, solids load, water phase ratio, and other thickeners/salts in the formulation.
