Powdered Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose: Post-reaction → Crushing → Fine Powder
Granular Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC): Powdered CMC → Water Addition → Granulation → Drying → Granules
Powdered Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC): Dissolves quickly, is inexpensive, prone to dusting, and tends to clump.
Granular Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC): Does not dust, does not clump, is easy to feed into processes, dissolves slowly, and is more expensive.
Food products, toothpaste, paints/coatings, daily chemical products → Powdered CMC
Construction mortars, putties, ceramics, oil drilling fluids, large-scale industrial batching → Granular CMC
