Degree of Substitution (DS) Trends

Technical FAQ: Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC)

Q1. What is the degree of substitution (DS), and why is it vital for CMC?: The degree of substitution (DS) quantifies the average number of carboxymethyl groups attached per anhydroglucose unit in cellulose. For CMC, DS affects solubility, viscosity, and compatibility. A higher DS means greater water solubility and viscosity (Reference: MDPI Polymers).
Q2. What are the industrial and food grade differences in CMC purity?: Food grade Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) typically requires ≥99.5% purity with tight heavy metal and microbiological controls, while industrial grades may allow minor impurities, as long as performance criteria are met (FAO/WHO Codex).
Q3. How is CMC viscosity specified and measured?: CMC viscosity is usually measured in millipascal-seconds (mPa·s) using a Brookfield or Ubbelohde viscometer, at defined concentrations (often 1% solution) and temperatures (25°C). Grades can range from 50 to 7000 mPa·s.
Q4. Which specifications are essential for CMC in drilling fluid applications?: Key specs include high viscosity, salt tolerance, filtration loss control, thermal stability, and appropriate DS (usually 0.8–1.2). High molecular weight CMC provides better mud rheology, stability and carrying capacity for oil & gas drilling (OnePetro).
Q5. What are the installation and storage standards for CMC?: Store in sealed, moisture-proof container111s, away from extreme temperature/humidity. Avoid direct sunlight. For mixing/installing, dispersing CMC slowly in rapidly agitated water ensures lump-free hydration and maximum viscosity development with minimal agglomeration.
Q6. Is CMC biodegradable and safe for food contact?: Yes. Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) is derived from natural cellulose. It is regarded as non-toxic, non-allergenic, and biodegradable; it is approved for use in virtually all major jurisdictions for direct and indirect food contact (See: PubMed).
Q7. Why is pH control important for CMC?: CMC solutions are pH-sensitive; optimal functionality is typically between pH 6.5-8.5. pH affects viscosity, clarity, and functional stability in formulations. For extreme pH applications, special CMC grades should be selected.
