High viscosity sodium carboxymethyl cellulose
Food industry: often used in making jams and jellies, it can make the products form a good gel structure and maintain a stable shape; in ice cream, it can effectively control the growth of ice crystals, improve the anti-melting performance, and make the taste more delicate; used in meat products, it can play a good role in water retention, maintain the fresh and tender taste of meat, and increase the viscosity of minced meat to make the products better.
Petroleum industry: as a drilling mud additive, it can significantly improve the viscosity and stability of the mud, effectively prevent the well wall from collapsing, reduce friction and torque during drilling, and improve drilling efficiency; it is also a key thickener for fracturing fluid, which can enhance the fracturing effect and improve oil and gas recovery.
Textile industry: often used as a sizing agent, it can form a tough sizing film on the surface of the yarn, improve the cohesion and wear resistance of the yarn, and reduce the breakage rate during weaving; when used in printing paste, it can make the printed pattern clearer and brighter, and has good mesh penetration and easy washing.
Papermaking industry: It can be used as a surface sizing agent and coating adhesive, which can significantly improve the strength, smoothness and printing adaptability of paper, help reduce the water absorption of paper, improve the folding resistance and stiffness of paper, and is suitable for the production of high-grade writing paper, printing paper and packaging paper.
Pharmaceutical industry: In some external ointments and cream preparations, it can be used as a thickener and stabilizer to keep the drug in a uniform paste state and prolong the drug's residence time on the skin; it is used to prepare some sustained-release preparations, and its high viscosity characteristics are used to control the release rate of the drug to achieve slow release of the drug.
Low viscosity sodium carboxymethyl cellulose
Food industry: It is suitable for some special sauces, such as low-calorie, low-fat sauces, which can provide a certain consistency without making the sauce too thick, affecting the taste and spreadability; in beverages, especially some clear beverages or beverages that require a refreshing taste, it can play a slight thickening and stabilizing role, prevent pulp precipitation, and keep the beverage clear and refreshing; it is used in health products and oral liquids, which can bring a refreshing taste without a thick feeling.
Daily chemical industry: In personal care products such as shampoo, shower gel, and facial cleanser, it is used as a suspending agent to evenly disperse some insoluble particles or active ingredients in the product to avoid precipitation; in toothpaste, it helps to maintain the paste form of toothpaste, making it easy to extrude, and at the same time, it will not affect the use experience due to excessive viscosity.
Pharmaceutical industry: It can be used as an adhesive for drug tablets. While ensuring the tablet molding, it will not affect the disintegration and drug release of tablets due to excessive viscosity; in some oral liquid preparations, it is used as a thickener to adjust the viscosity of the liquid, which is convenient for patients to take, and will not produce an overly sticky feeling.
Paint industry: It is used in water-based paints and can be used as an auxiliary component of leveling agents and thickeners to help the paint level better during the construction process and prevent sagging. At the same time, it will not make the viscosity of the paint too high and affect the coating performance.
Electronic industry: In some electronic slurries, low-viscosity sodium carboxymethyl cellulose can be used as a dispersant to evenly disperse the various components in the slurry, improve the stability and coating performance of the slurry, and is used in the manufacture of electronic components.
