Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) is a cellulose derivative produced by chemically modifying natural cellulose. It is widely used in various industries for its thickening, stabilizing, emulsifying and binding properties. It is soluble in cold water and forms a clear and viscous solution.

• Increase thickness and viscosity
• Improve texture and mouthfeel
• Prevent separation in liquids
• Stabilize emulsions and suspensions
• Improve moisture retention
• Act as a binding and film-forming agent
• Maintain product consistency over time
