Comparison of Instant and Ordinary Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose

According to the different requirements of various industries, there are multiple types of Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose, such as instant type and ordinary type. According to different properties, there are powder and granular Sodium CMC. Different types of products are different in the production process and use of performance, here we would like to introduce the property of Instant Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose.

1. Production process:

The former is not affected by the production process of the product, while the application of the latter in the production of the product is affected by the process.

2. Transparency:

The transparency of instant Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose is better; there will be agglomerated lumps during the dissolution process of ordinary CMC, so the transparency is lower.

3. Solubility:

Instant Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose dissolves completely in 1-3 minutes, without agglomeration; while it takes more than 1 hour for general type to dissolve completely.

4. Uniformity:

After instant-dissolved Sodium CMC are dissolved, the products quickly reach a uniform state, while ordinary CMC will float on the solution or be agglomerated and suspended in the solution after dissolving.

Instant CMC is superior to the ordinary CMC in many aspects, the main feature is fast dissolution, but in actual production, enterprises should still choose the instant type or the ordinary type according to the specific using requirements.
