Product Description: Carboxymethyl cellulose is widely used as a thickening and stabilizing agent in the food industry, where it enhances the texture and consistency of products like ice cream, yogurt, and sauces. In pharmaceuticals, it serves as a binder in tablets and a viscosity modifier in liquid medications, ensuring controlled release and improved shelf life. The paper industry utilizes it to improve paper strength and as a coating agent for better print quality. In personal care products, such as toothpaste and lotions, it acts as a thickener and emulsifier, providing smooth application and stability. Additionally, it is employed in detergents to prevent soil redeposition and in oil drilling fluids to control viscosity and fluid loss. Its water-retention properties also make it valuable in agriculture for soil conditioning and seed coating.
