CMC for Paper

Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) is an essential additive in the paper industry, offering binding, thickening, and water-retention properties that enhance paper strength, surface quality, and printability. It improves fiber bonding, reduces dusting and porosity, and helps achieve a smoother, more uniform finish, while also enhancing the paper’s resistance to moisture and oils.

Storage Conditions

Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture to maintain its quality and performance. It is recommended to keep the product in its original, sealed packaging to prevent contamination and exposure to humidity.
For optimal shelf life, CMC should be stored at temperatures below 30°C (86°F) with a relative humidity of less than 70%. Under proper storage conditions, the shelf life is up to 24 months from the date of production.
Avoid stacking heavy loads on top of CMC packaging to prevent damage to the bags and ensure easy handling during transportation and usage.

Improved Paper Strength: CMC enhances the tensile strength and surface properties of paper, making it more durable and less prone to tearing.
Enhanced Printability: By improving the surface smoothness and ink absorption, CMC ensures high-quality and uniform printing results.
Efficient Coating Agent: CMC acts as an excellent binder in paper coatings, improving adhesion and providing a consistent, high-quality finish.
