Sodium Carboxy Methyl

Listing ID #3628164

Sodium Carboxy Methyl Cellulose (SCMC or CMC) or Cellulose Gum is an anionic water soluble polymer. It is derived from cellulose, which is made water soluble by a chemical reaction. The water solubility is achieved by introducing carboxymethyl groups -CH2-COOH along the cellulose chain, which makes hydration of the molecule possible. The chemical name of SCMC is SODIUM SALT OF CARBOXYMETHYL ETHER OF CELLULOSE.
