Understanding the role of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) in detergents

Whether it's washing garments to remove persistent stains or washing hands to clean and sterilize, detergents have become essential in people's daily lives.

Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) is an important component in detergents.

CMC and Detergent

Anti-dirt re-deposition: CMC can prevent dirt that was removed from clothing during the washing process from re-depositing on the clothing, preserving its cleanliness and color.

Thickening and Stability: CMC thickens and stabilizes detergents, making them easier to regulate and distribute uniformly during usage.

Improve foam performance: adjust the amount of CMC to manage the amount of foam produced and satisfy various washing requirements. For example, excessive foam in washing machine detergent might impair cleaning performance, and CMC can assist limit foam creation.
