Sodium CarboxyMethyl Cellulose is white or milk white fibrous powder or particles, odorless and tasteless.
Sodium CarboxyMethyl Cellulose is insoluble in organic solvents such as methanol, alcohol, diethyl ether, acetone, chloroform and benzene but soluble in water.

Degree of substitution is an important factor influencing water solubility and the viscosity of Sodium CarboxyMethyl Cellulose also has a great effect on the water solubility.

In general when the viscosity is within 25-50Pa•s and the degree of substitution is about 0.3, Sodium CarboxyMethyl Cellulose shows alkaline solubility and while the degree of substitution is over 0.4, it shows water solubility.

With the rise of DS, the transparency of solution improves accordingly.
In addition, the replacement homogeneity also has an great effect on the solubility.

3. Hygroscopicity
Sodium CarboxyMethyl Cellulose equilibrium water content will increase with the rise of air humidity but decrease with the rise of temperature.
At room temperature and average humidity of 80-85%, the equilibrium water content is more than 26% but moisture content in the products is lower than 10%, lower than the former.

As far as Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose's shape is concerned, even if the water content is about 15%, there seems no difference in appearance.
However, when the moisture content reaches above 20%, inter-particle mutual adhesion can be perceived and the higher the viscosity is, the more evident it will become.

For these polarized high-molecular compounds like Sodium carboxymethylcellulose, the hygroscopic degree is not only affected by the relative humidity but also by the number of polarity.

The higher the degree os substitution is, that is, the larger the number of polarity, the stronger the hygroscopicity will be.
Moreover, crystallinity also affects Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose and the higher the crystallinity is, the smaller the hygroscopic will be.

4. Compatibility
Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose has good compatibility with other kinds of water-soluble glues, softeners and resin.
For example, Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose is compatible with animal glues, dimethoxy dimethylurea gel, Arabic gum, pectin, tragacanth gum, ethylene glycol, sorbitol, glycerol, invert sugar, soluble starch and sodium alginate.

Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose is also compatible with casein, the compound of melamine- formaldehyde resin and ethylene glycol, urea formaldehyde ethylene glycol resin, methyl cellulose, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), phosphate nitrilotriacetic acid, and sodium silicate but the degree is slightly poorer.
1% Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose solution is compatible with most inorganic salts.

5. Dissociation Constant
In the giant polymer matrix of Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose, there are plenty of electrolyzing groups (carboxymethyl groups).
The acidity is similar to that of acetic acid and the dissociation constant is 5×10-5.
The dissociation strength has an considerable effect on the electrical properties of Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose.

6. Biochemical Properties
Although Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose solution is difficult to get rotten than natural gums, under certain conditions, some microbes enable it to get rotten, especially with cellulose and taka-amylase reactions, leading to the decrease of solution viscosity.

The higher the DS of Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose is, the less it will be affected by enzymes and this is because the side chain linked with glucose residues prevents enzymolysis.

Since the enzyme action leads to the breakage of Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose main chain and generates reducing sugar, in this way the degree of polymerization will decrease and the solution viscosity will accordingly decrease.
The digestive enzymes within human body can have no decomposition on Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose has no decomposition in acid or alkaline digestive juice.

PREPARATION MOTE OF SODIUM CARBOXYMETHYL CELLULOSE:
Sodium CarboxyMethyl Cellulose is soluble in water (40 mg/mL).
The key to dissolving Sodium CarboxyMethyl Cellulose is to add the solid carefully to the water so that it is well dispersed (well-wetted). Adding the solid in portions may be necessary.

Adding water to the dry solid produces a "clump" of solid that is very difficult to dissolve; The solid must be added to the water.
Stir gently or shake intermittently; Do not stir constantly with a magnetic stirring bar.
High heat is not needed and may actually slow down the solubilization process.

A mixing device, such as an impeller-type agitator which produces a vortex, would allow the powder to be drawn into the liquid, but it may produce some shearing.
The product is soluble in water (40 mg/mL).

A mixing device, such as an impeller-type agitator which produces a vortex, would allow the powder to be drawn into the liquid, but it may produce some shearing.
Under normal conditions, the effect of temperature on solutions of this product is reversible, so slight temperature variation has no permanent effect on viscosity.

However, long periods of heating Sodium CarboxyMethyl Cellulose solutions at high temperatures (autoclaving) will degrade the product and permanently reduce viscosity.
Sodium CarboxyMethyl Cellulose is therefore very difficult to sterilize.

γ-Irradiation, like heating, will gradient Sodium CarboxyMethyl Cellulose.
High viscosity Sodium CarboxyMethyl Cellulose is more adversely affected by autoclaving and irradiation than is low viscosity CMC.
Filtering Sodium CarboxyMethyl Cellulose solutions tend to leave a gel behind because the material is fibrous, so solutions cannot be sterile filtered.
