Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) is a common food additive, and its sodium salt (sodium carboxymethyl cellulose) is commonly used as a viscose and paste. Carboxymethyl cellulose is known as industrial monosodium glutamate, which is widely used in industrial production and brings great value to various production fields. Carboxymethyl cellulose is a powdered substance, non-toxic, but it is easy to dissolve in water, cold water and hot water are easily soluble, but insoluble in organic solvents, after dissolution will become a viscous liquid, but viscosity will decline because of the rise of temperature. Because of its special properties, it has many special requirements in storage and transportation.
