CMC 7HF (CMC Gum)

Sodium Methyl Cellulose (Na-CMC) is a synthetic polymer derived from plant origin. Na-CMC is derived from cellulose, the most abundant polymer in nature. Na-CMC is manufactured using highly purified cellulose pulp, which is made from soft wood trees (such as pine) and/or cotton linters, which is derived from the short cotton fiber removed from cotton seeds during the cotton seed oil production. This cellulose is treated with synthetic chemicals to obtain the properties of the desired Na-CMC polymer. This polymer is inert and highly purified with virtually no caloric value, and is odorless, colorless and tasteless.
