SODIUM CMC Supplier and Manufacturer

Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) is one of the most versatile of all water soluble colloids. CMC is a natural product derived from cellulose. Wide range of CMC grades can be produced in controlled manufacturing process. It can form viscous solutions in both cold and warm water. We are offering several viscosity grades of Sodium CMC. CMC provides a vast range of properties for many application, enhancing the performance and stability of the final product. It is increasingly finding new users and applications due to its non-hazardous nature and environmentally friendly characteristics.

FAQs on Sodium CMC (Carboxymethyl Cellulose)

1. What is Sodium CMC?
Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) is a water-soluble cellulose derivative used as a thickener, stabiliser, film former, suspending agent, and controlled-release polymer. It is derived from natural cellulose, making it non-toxic, biocompatible, and environmentally friendly.

2. What are the key applications of Sodium CMC?
Sodium CMC is highly versatile and is used in:

  • Pharmaceuticals: controlled-release tablets, liquid orals, ophthalmic solutions

  • Oral Care: toothpaste and dental gels as a thickener and stabiliser

  • Topicals: creams, ointments, and gels for consistency and spreadability

  • Food & Industrial uses: as a stabiliser and viscosity modifier

3. How does Sodium CMC work in pharmaceutical formulations?
In drug formulations, Sodium CMC acts as a:

  • Controlled-release polymer in oral tablets

  • Viscosity builder in suspensions and syrups

  • Film former for coatings

  • Lubricant and stabiliser in topical and ophthalmic preparations

4. Is Sodium CMC safe for pharmaceutical use?
Yes. Sodium CMC is non-toxic, inert, and pharmacopeia-compliant (USP/Ph. Eur). Its natural origin and safety profile make it suitable for oral, topical, and ophthalmic applications.

5. What dosage forms can Sodium CMC be used in?
Sodium CMC is used in:

  • Solid orals (tablets, controlled-release systems)

  • Liquid orals (syrups, suspensions)

  • Ophthalmic formulations (eye drops, gels)

  • Oral care products (toothpaste, mouthwash)

  • Topicals (creams, lotions, gels)

6. What grades of Sodium CMC are available?
We supply a wide range of viscosity grades tailored to different applications, including:

  • Low viscosity grades (25–150 cps): for coatings, oral solutions

  • Medium viscosity grades (200–1200 cps): for suspensions, toothpaste, and eye drops

  • High viscosity grades (1500–8000 cps): for controlled-release tablets, thick creams, gels

  • Super Quick Dispersing Grade (Swift 8Q70): fast-hydrating CMC for rapid processing

7. How does viscosity affect the performance of Sodium CMC?
Viscosity determines how Sodium CMC functions in a formulation:

  • Low viscosity: easy flow, good solubility, suitable for liquids

  • High viscosity: strong thickening, gel formation, controlled release in tablets

Choosing the right grade is crucial for formulation stability and performance.

8. What are the advantages of Hydrocel® Sodium CMC?

  • Wide range of viscosity grades for flexibility

  • Super quick dispersing options for efficient processing

  • Consistent batch-to-batch quality

  • Non-toxic and biocompatible

  • Long shelf life with excellent stability

9. What certifications does Hydrocel® Sodium CMC comply with?
Hydrocel® Sodium CMC meets USP and Ph. Eur standards, ensuring quality, safety, and regulatory compliance for pharmaceutical and personal care applications.

10. How can I select the right Sodium CMC grade for my application?

  • Oral care & ophthalmic: medium viscosity grades (200–1200 cps)

  • Controlled release tablets: high viscosity grades (1500–8000 cps)

  • Topicals & gels: medium to high viscosity grades

  • Liquid orals: low viscosity grades (25–150 cps)
