Engobes & Glazes
Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) is a cellulose derivative, an ionic cellulose gum, and owing to its unique thickening, suspending, adhesion, and water retention properties, is widely used in various industrial fields.
In the field of ceramics，Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose（CMC)can be used in the ceramic body, glaze slurry and fancy glaze.
In the ceramic body, Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose can be used to improve the shaping of mud materials, facilitate the shaping of green body, increase the flexural strength of green body, and is a good enhancing agent.
In the glaze slurry and fancy glaze, Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose can be used as a binder and plays the role of suspending, de-agglomeration and water retention.
