CarboxyMethylCellulose(CMC) / FOOD GRADE

Cellulose Gum or CMC) is extracted from wood pulp and pure cotton cellulose. Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose can be divided into industrial grade and food grade. The industrial-grade Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose can be further divided into technical-grade and semi-purified Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose. And the technical-grade Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose (or crude CMC) generally has purity less than 80%;  the semi-purified Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose has purity ranging from 80% to 95%; the purified Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose has purity more than 99.5%. Only purified Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose is safe to eat. SidleyCel Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose can fully meet FCC IV standards, with quality and stability.
