Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) or cellulose gum is a cellulose derivative with carboxymethyl groups. It is often used as its sodium salt, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose. It is synthesized by the alkali-catalyzed reaction of cellulose with chloroacetic acid. Following the initial reaction, the resultant mixture produces about 60% CMC plus 40% salts (sodium chloride and sodium glycolate). This product is the so-called technical CMC which is used in detergents. An intermediate “semi purified” grade is also produced, typically used in paper applications such as restoration of archival documents.
