CMC is a water-soluble polymer made by reacting cellulose with sodium hydroxide and monochloroacetic acid.

Paint grade CMC is used in water-based paints to improve their consistency, prevent settling of pigments, enhance their flow properties, and reduce splattering. It also provides good adhesion to different surfaces and improves the durability and water resistance of the paint film.

Paint grade CMC is typically added to the paint formulation during the manufacturing process and is used in concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 2% by weight of the paint. It is considered safe for use in paints and coatings and is widely used in the paint industry.

How To Use Paint Grade CMC?

Paint grade CMC (Carboxymethyl Cellulose) is typically used as an additive in water-based paint formulations. Here are some general guidelines on how to use CMC in paint:

01.

Surface preparation: The surface to be painted should be cleaned, dry, and free from dust, dirt, oil, and other contaminants. Any cracks, holes, or other defects should be repaired and allowed to dry completely.

02.

Stir the paint: Before applying the paint, it should be stirred thoroughly to ensure that the CMC is evenly dispersed and the paint is well mixed.

03.

Apply the paint: The paint can be applied using a brush, roller, or sprayer, depending on the specific application and the desired finish.

04.

Allow to dry: After the paint has been applied, it should be allowed to dry according to the manufacturer's instructions. Depending on the type of paint and the conditions, this may take several hours or longer.

05.

Apply additional coats: Depending on the desired finish and the coverage achieved with the first coat, additional coats of paint may be applied, with appropriate drying time in between.

There are several advantages of using paint grade CMC in paint formulations, including:

Thickening:

Paint grade CMC can thicken paint formulations and prevent settling of pigments, which can result in a more even distribution of color and better hiding power.

Stabilizing:

Sodium CMC can act as a stabilizer in paint formulations, preventing the formation of lumps or gels that can negatively affect the quality of the paint.

Improved flow:

CMC can improve the flow properties of paint, making it easier to apply and giving it a smoother finish.

Water resistance:

Paint grade CMC can increase the water resistance of paint films, making them more durable and resistant to damage from moisture.

Cost-effective:

CMC is a relatively inexpensive additive, making it a cost-effective solution for improving the quality of paint formulations.

Environmentally friendly:

CMC is a naturally occurring material that is biodegradable and non-toxic, making it an environmentally friendly choice for use in paint formulations.
