BLANOSE® CELLULOSE GUM
 
Sodium Carboxymethylcellulose USP/NF, EP, JP

Blanose cellulose gum is the sodium salt of carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), purified to meet pharmaceutical standards. They are soluble in water but insoluble in organic solvents. Generally used as thickeners, binders, stabilizers, suspending agents and rheology modifiers. Lower substitution types provide thixotropy and higher substitution types are used where smooth solutions are required.
