Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) is an anionic water-soluble cellulose ether widely used in the paper industry. Hondo Chemical supplies granular paper making grade CMC designed to improve paper strength, fiber dispersibility, retention performance, and sheet formation uniformity. It is suitable for cultural paper, packaging paper, household tissue paper, specialty paper, and various coated papers.To ensure stable quality for industrial paper production, every batch of our CMC is manufactured with traceable raw materials and strict quality control, including raw-material inspection, in-process monitoring, finished-product testing, and pre-shipment sampling.

 

Function

 

501628865

Hondo Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), as a water-soluble anionic polymeric compound, serves as a multifunctional core additive in the paper industry, with its excellent rheological, film-forming, adhesive, and dispersive properties,paper making grade CMC is deeply applied in wet-end additives, surface sizing agents, coating additives, and other links, optimizing paper performance from multiple dimensions.

The granular paper making grade CMC produced by Hondo Chemical can improve pulp uniformity, reduce fiber flocculation, and enhance the dry and wet strength of paper.Its retention and filtration aid properties enhance filler retention rate and optimize papermaking efficiency. During surface sizing, paper used CMC can compounded with starch and other materials to form a gel film, which gives paper with water resistance and wear abrasion resistance and improves printing ability.

In the coating process, sodium CMC optimizes the flow flatness of coatings by virtue of its dispersibility and film-forming properties, contributing to the production of high smoothness paper products.

 

 

Application

  • 1. Cultural Paper: Copy Paper, Writing Paper, Coated Paper (Art Paper, Light Coated Paper)

    ● Compared with traditional starch adhesives, the powder CMC for papermaking used can reduce adhesive amount by 20% while reducing the risk of coating cracking. Paper making grade CMC forms a uniform coating with pigments (such as kaolin), enhancing paper glossiness (Δ60° glossiness can reach over 85) and uniformity the ink absorption to meet printing requirements of high-end picture albums and magazines.This results in smoother and more uniform sheets suitable for magazines and high-quality printing.
  • 2. Household Paper: Toilet Paper, Facial Tissue, Kitchen Towel and Wiping Paper
    ● Adding 0.2%-0.5% CMC to the pulp can improve fiber dispersion, increasing paper softness by 20%-30%. As a strength enhancer, adding CMC cellulose can improve wet toughness of paper and prevent breakage during use. As CMC's water-retention property, it adjusts the water absorption rate to enhance usage comfort.
  • 3. Industrial Paper: Packaging Paper, Electrolytic Capacitor Paper, Filter Paper, etc.

    ● Hondo CMC imparts better structural stability and dimensional control ability to paper; it enhances paper density and mechanical strength by improving fiber bonding. As a dispersant, paper making grade CMC enables functional fillers to distribute more uniformly in the paper structure, meeting the multiple requirements of high-performance, customized and functional industrial papers, serving as a key additive in high-value-added paper grades.
  • 4. Coated Paper: Cardboard, Art Paper

    ● CMC's rheological and water-retention properties adjust the pseudoplasticity of coating, adapting to high-speed blade coating (vehicle speed >1000m/min). Its high water-retention capacity (water retention value increased by 30%) prevents adhesive migration and avoids coating cracking. As a coating binder and thickener, adding Paper making grade CMC in papermaking enhances coating adhesion and stability, controls the viscosity of coating liquid for uniform application, prevents coating cracks and delamination, and improves paper surface gloss, smoothness, and printability.

 

Advantage

1. unique advantages of granular CMC-– Easy Handling & Better Dissolution

Compared with traditional powdery CMC, the granular CMC produced by Hondo Chemical is more convenient to operate in the papermaking industry, and has better dissolution performance and higher production efficiency. The granular form of CMC greatly reduces the problem of dust flying and improves the operating environment. Granular CMC has excellent fluidity, which reduces manual operation and improves the level of factory automation and production efficiency. Granular CMC has a slow dispersion speed in water, avoiding local agglomeration and caking, making the dissolution process of sodium CMC more uniform and stable. Granular CMC is suitable for multiple process links such as wet-end addition, surface sizing, and coating, and can be flexibly selected according to different paper types and performance requirements.

2. Enhancement of Paper Strength

As an anionic dispersant, paper making grade CMC increases the negative charge on the surface of fibers and fillers, promoting their uniform distribution in the pulp and reducing sedimentation. Paper making grade CMC enhances fiber bonding and filler dispersion, improving tensile strength, burst strength, and folding endurance-important for high-strength papers and packaging grades.This effectively improves the smoothness and gloss of the paper. Adding the granule CMC in the wet-end process of papermaking can significantly enhance the bonding force between fibers, greatly improving the tensile strength, bursting strength, and flexibility of the paper. This makes the paper more durable and capable of bearing heavier loads, meeting the application requirements for high-strength paper products.

3. Optimization of Paper Surface Quality

As an efficient dispersant and suspending agent, Cellulose CMC optimizes the rheology of the pulp system, improve the stability of the papermaking process and the uniformity of the paper sheets. Adding paper making grade CMC cellulose can reduce pores on the paper surface, improves the ink absorption performance, and strengthens the adsorption capacity for ink. This ensures the clarity and consistency of printed text and images while reducing paper breakage during the printing process. Meanwhile, CMC gum effectively enhances the smoothness and gloss of the paper, making the surface more delicate and aesthetically pleasing. It is particularly suitable for high-quality paper products with strict surface requirements, such as coated paper and copy paper.

4. Optimization of Papermaking Production Process

Hondo CMC exhibits excellent dispersing properties in the papermaking process, effectively preventing fiber agglomeration and ensuring uniform pulp distribution, thus improving the forming consistency of the paper. Additionally, carboxymethyl cellulose CMC has excellent water-holding capacity, which reducing water loss during papermaking process and reducing energy consumption for pulp concentration and drying, thereby enhancing overall production efficiency. It also can improve the retention rate of fillers, reduces filler waste, and decreases the usage of other chemical additives, helping to control costs and enhance environmental friendliness.

5.Improvement of Surface Sizing and Coating Effects

The hydrophobic-hydrophilic balanced structure of CMC can adjust the water absorption rate of paper, making the paper more suitable for different printing or packaging needs.The paper making grade CMC controls the penetration of printing inks, improves printing clarity, printability, smoothness and glossiness, enhances the uniformity of ink absorption, and reduces ink seepage. Sodium CMC as a coating binder or thickener, significantly improves the adhesiveness and uniformity of the coating, improves paper evenness, helps form a tighter and denser paper structure, and improves the binding force of the coating layer to prevent powdering and delamination.
