CMC-Na is a water-soluble cellulose derivative widely used as a thickener, stabilizer, and suspending agent.
In pharmaceutical syrups, suspensions, and topical formulations, it provides viscosity, prevents sedimentation, and improves texture.
It is also used as a binder and film-former in tablets and as a protective colloid in many liquid systems.
Beyond pharma, CMC-Na is used in food, detergents, paper, and textile applications as a rheology and moisture-control additive.
