Sodium Carboxymethyl Starch - 20kg/25kg Pack Size | White Light Creamish Powder High Solubility Excellent Thickening Agent

CARBOXYMETHYL STARCH (CMS or SCMS) is a starch ether derivative derived from starch. It is soluble in water at room temperature and forms a transparent to light milky and viscous solution.
CMS is an important modified starch with unique properties due to the presence of negatively charged functional group (CH2COO-). The introduction of carboxymethyl groups interrupts the ordered structure of native starch and intervenes with the re-association of gelatinized starch. This modification yields starch with decreased gelatinization temperature increased solubility and improved storage stability.
CMS is chemically processed carbohydrate typically derived from Native starch viz. Maize Potato Tapioca & Rice.
These Sodium Carboxy Methyl starch and solution are alkaline in nature and have the capacity to replace sodium car-boxy methyl cellulose in fields like textile sizing and printing corrugated paper paper sizing oil well drilling water based distemper oil bound distemper electrodes ceramics pesticides foundry adhesives and others.
The chemical name of SCMS is SODIUM SALT OF CARBOXYMETHYL ETHER OF STARCH

APPLICATIONS
CMS has a wide range of applications in industries mostly used for purposes of thickening stabilization water preserving etc. In pharmaceutical industry CMS also known as sodium starch Glycolate is commonly used as disintegrate. It is also used in textile industry as thickening agent in textile printing paste and as sizing agent especially for hydrophilic yarn.
Another closed related material is carboxymethyl cellulose (C..MC) which has been used intensively in similar industries. However CMS not only has many advantages over CMC but comes with a much lower price tag. Therefore CMS is poising to replace CMC in many of industrial applications.
CMS are widely used in Oil Well Drilling Textile Paper & Corrugated Board Detergent Welding Electrodes Food Pharmaceutical Pesticides Cosmetic Toothpaste Paint Mining and Ceramic Industries.
