API 13A Standard Oil Drilling Mud Grade CMC Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose High Viscosity LV/HV

Premium Oil Drilling Grade CMC Polymer / PAC Powder API 13A Standard

1. Product Overview 

Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) is a high-efficiency cellulose ether derivative widely used as a thickener, binder, stabilizer, water-retention agent, and suspending agent across various industries. Derived from natural refined cotton or wood pulp, our CMC features high purity, uniform substitution, excellent solubility, and stable viscosity.

3. Key Applications 

• Food & Beverage Industry: Acts as a thickener, stabilizer, and moisture retainer in ice cream, dairy drinks, bakery products, sauces, and instant noodles to improve mouthfeel and shelf life.

• Detergent & Personal Care: Prevents dirt anti-redeposition in synthetic detergents and functions as a binder/rheology modifier in toothpaste and liquid soaps.

• Oil Drilling Industry: Serves as a fluid-loss reducer and viscosifier in water-based drilling muds, improving hole-cleaning efficiency and thermal stability.

• Textile & Paper Making: Used as a warp sizing agent and surface finishing agent to increase tensile strength and smooth texture.

• Lithium Battery & Other Uses: Functions as a high-performance binder for lithium-ion battery anode materials.

4. Key Features & Advantages 

• High Solubility & Fast Dispersion: Dissolves rapidly in both cold and warm water without clumping.

• Excellent Acid & Salt Resistance: High DS grades maintain viscosity stability in saline or low-pH environments.

• Uniform Substitution: Ensures superior batch-to-batch consistency and high solution transparency.

• Eco-Friendly & Non-Toxic: Non-hazardous, biodegradable, and safe for handling.
