CMC LV

Specification of CMC LV

What is CMC LV?

CMC LV, or low-viscosity carboxymethyl cellulose, is a water-soluble polymer derived from cellulose. It's a type of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) specifically engineered for applications requiring lower-viscosity solutions. This versatile ingredient functions as a thickener, stabilizer, binder, and film-former, finding use in food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and other industries where controlled viscosity is essential.

Advantages of CMC LV

Solubility & Thickening: CMC LV dissolves readily in water, forming clear, viscous solutions. Its low viscosity makes it ideal for applications needing easier flow, like certain foods or formulations.  It acts as an effective thickener, stabilizer, and binder.

Film Formation: CMC LV forms thin, flexible films when dried. These films are useful for coatings, packaging, or edible films. Film properties are controllable, offering protection and barrier functions in various applications.

Stabilization & Suspension: CMC LV stabilizes emulsions and suspensions, preventing phase separation.  This is crucial in foods, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.  Its viscosity contributes to its stabilizing properties, ensuring product uniformity.

Biocompatibility & Biodegradability: Derived from cellulose, CMC LV is biocompatible and biodegradable. This makes it suitable for food, pharmaceuticals, and environmentally conscious applications. Its biodegradability reduces waste and environmental impact.

Application of CMC LV

KimaCell® CMC LV sodium carboxymethyl cellulose is In drilling and oil drilling engineering, good mud must be configured to ensure the normal operation of the drilling. A good mud must have appropriate specific gravity, viscosity, thixotropy, water loss and other values. These values have their own requirements depending on the region, well depth, mud type and other conditions. Using CMC LV in the mud can adjust these physical parameters, such as reducing loss. Water volume, adjust viscosity, increase thixotropy, etc. When in use, dissolve CMC in water to make a solution and add it to the mud. CMC can also be added to the mud together with other chemical agents. Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose CMC LV for oil drilling has the following characteristics: less dosage, high pulping rate; good salt resistance, strong antibacterial properties, convenient use; good filtration loss reduction and viscosity increasing effects; rheological control, strong suspension ability;  CMC LV is green and environmentally friendly, non-toxic, harmless and odorless; the product has good fluidity and convenient construction.
