About Cellulose Gum

Cellulose Gum

Chemistry: Cellulosics

Cellulose gum, or sodium carboxyethylcellulose (CMC), from Ashland is widely used as a cost-effective thickener and stabilizer in food and beverages. In addition to modifying the behavior of water, cellulose gum is useful in modifying flow, adding texture and enhancing mouthfeel.

A wide range of cellulose gum grades with different viscosities, molecular weights, degrees of substitution and particle sizes are available and products can be customized to meet specific applications. Our global manufacturing base is designed to meet regional needs.

Aqualon GMO and non-GMO cellulose gum grades are manufactured in the U.S.
Blanose GMO and non-GMO cellulose gum grades are manufactured in Europe.
Bondwell cellulose gum 99.5% purity grades are manufactured in China.

We also offer a number of specialty cellulose gums for specific purposes.

Aquasorb specialty super-absorbent cellulose gum is designed for maximum water-holding in bakery products for improved appearance, quality and yield.
Aquacel specialty cellulose gum grades are designed for guar gum supplementation and replacement.
Aquacel WS specialty cellulose gum grade is designed for tartaric acid stabilization in white and ros wines.

Exceptional Thickening and Stabilizing Agent

Cellulose Gum provides consistent viscosity and stability in various formulations. Its effective thickening properties (400-8000 cp for 1% solution) enhance texture and shelf-life in food, personal care, and pharmaceutical products. Reliable solubility in cold water ensures seamless incorporation without clumping or residue, making it an optimal choice for industrial use.

Stringent Quality and Safety Standards

Complying with maximum limits for moisture (10%), loss on drying (10%), heavy metals (20 ppm), and microbial purity, this product meets rigorous industry benchmarks. Each batch is tested to ensure high purity (99%), optimal refractive index (1.33), and density (0.7 g/cm3), providing assurance for safe and effective use in sensitive applications.

FAQ's of Cellulose Gum:

Q: How should Cellulose Gum be stored to maintain its quality?

A: Cellulose Gum should be kept in a cool, dry environment, away from direct sunlight. Proper storage ensures the product retains its shelf life of 24 months and maintains compliance with moisture and microbial purity standards.

Q: What are the main applications of Cellulose Gum in industrial settings?

A: Cellulose Gum is widely used as a thickener, stabilizer, and emulsifier in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. It also serves crucial roles in personal care, textile finishing, and detergent manufacturing due to its high purity and tailored viscosity.

Q: When should a user select customized particle size distribution for Cellulose Gum?

A: Customized particle size distribution is recommended when specific application requirements dictate the texture, solubility, or blending stability of your final product, such as in specialty food textures or advanced pharmaceutical formulations.

Q: Where is Cellulose Gum supplied from, and in what packaging?

A: This industrial-grade cellulose gum is supplied and traded in India, typically packaged in durable 25 kg bags suitable for both bulk and small-scale manufacturing operations.

Q: What is the process for incorporating Cellulose Gum into formulations?

A: To integrate Cellulose Gum effectively, dissolve it in cold water to utilize its solubility and achieve the desired viscosity. It blends smoothly, aiding uniform thickness and stability without leaving clumps or residues.

Q: What are the primary benefits of using high-purity Cellulose Gum?

A: High-purity Cellulose Gum (99%) delivers reliable performance, excellent safety, consistent texture, and stability across food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical applications. Compliance with industrial standards further ensures suitability for sensitive uses.
