Carboxymethyl cellulose: CMC
- It dissolves easily, and this solution is colorless and clear.
- It is anionic with little pH dependence in the pH range of 5-10.
- Excellent surfactant compatibility.
- It is less perishable than other polysaccharides and does not change over time.
- It has the performance of thickening, emulsification/suspension stabilization, water retention, protecting colloid, and adhesion.
- You can use it as a binder.
- Film-forming with strong and flexible.
- Eco-Friendly resources because it is plant derived.
- It is relatively a low price, it is used in industrial materials..
Hydroxyethyl cellulose：HEC
- Easily dissolves in water and the solution is transparent.
- It is nonionic, compatible with salts, other drugs, surfactants, etc.
- It has the properties about thickening, emulsification/suspension stabilization, water retention, protecting colloid, and adhesion.
- Excellent film-forming property, making strong and flexible film.
- It has water retention property so that it can make moisturizing ingredients can stay in place.
- It is mainly used for thickening and dispersion stabilization in industrial fields.
Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose：HPMC
- Easily dissolves in water and the solution is transparent.
- As the solution is heated, it becomes gel. The gel can be back to the solution when cooled.
- High purity and very low residual ash content.
- Stability to acids, alkalis, enzymes, metallic salt, and electrolyte.
- It has protective colloidal properties, and emulsification stability.
- Excellent lubrication and water retention properties.
- Improve adhesion and binding properties.
- It is mainly used for building material such as cement.
