The secret weapon of the printing and dyeing industry-Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose（CMC）

In every corner of our lives, from the various clothes in the wardrobe to the warm and comfortable curtains at home, these colorful items shine with the brilliance of the printing and dyeing industry.

In the colorful world of printing and dyeing, there is a crucial role - carboxymethyl cellulose sodium (CMC).

The role of CMC in the printing and dyeing industry

1.Thickening and stability.

CMC can effectively increase the viscosity of the dye solution during the printing and dyeing process, allowing the dye to adhere more evenly to the fibers and improve the dyeing effect.

At the same time, it can also stabilize the dye solution system, prevent the settling and layering of dye or pigment particles, and ensure the smooth progress of the printing and dyeing process.

2.Suspension and dispersion.

During the printing process, CMC acts as a suspending agent to help pigment particles evenly suspend in the printing paste, avoiding premature settling and ensuring the clarity of the printed pattern and the vividness of colors;

Its dispersing effect helps to improve the printing effect and make the pattern more delicate.

3.Film formation and protection.

CMC can form a protective film on the surface of fabrics, which not only enhances the adhesion of dyes, but also improves the color fastness and durability of printed and dyed products, effectively preventing dyes from falling off during washing or friction, and maintaining the lasting and bright color of fabrics.
