Applications

Daicel FineChem has various grades of Carboxymethyl Cellulose. Variation of viscosity, and degree of substitution contribute you to control flow characteristics, acid-resistance, salt-resistance, dispersion stability. Our Carboxymethyl Cellulose are used for various application of medical and cosmetics fields such as toothpaste, poultices, and pills because of these characteristics.
Our Hydroxyethyl Cellulose is excellent characteristics, excellent transparency after dissolved, less acid smell, and had been used for various application of personal care products.
Microfibrillated Cellulose(CELISH) has excellent water-retainablity, and improvement of tensile strength, and binding power caused by fibers, and had been used for cosmetics such as face mask.

Applications

Application Function Recommended Grades
CMC HEC
Toothpastes
Viscosity and tackiness effects preserve squeezability from the tube and form preservation on the brush. Provides a cutting feel (no threading) when the tube is pulled away from the brush, and also prevents moisture loss.
1150
1260
EE820
Denture adhesives
Improves basal adhesivity and controls intra-oral solubility while preserving the appropriate sustention.
2260
ECG
 
poultices
Improves basal form retention while preventing protrusion.
Also, prevents reverse staining of non-woven fabrics.
1380
1110
 
Semi-adhesive cooling pads
Increases sheet moisture content and moisture retention.
Prevents basal moisture loss.
1290

Air Fresheners
Cross-linked gels can be obtained due to CMC’s polyvalent salts.
1190  
Contrast agents for X-ray
Stimulates the dispersion stability of inorganic suspensions such as barium sulfate while improving re-dispersion.

1205
 
Pharmaceuticals
(Pills, Aperients, and Drinkable Medicines
(Syrups etc.))
Functions as a binder for constituent medicinal ingredients.
Form preservation when made into tablets. Dietary fiber function promotes the effects of aperients.
Allows easy dosing and is used as a thickening agent.

Bath Powders
Functions ad binder forgranulization-use.
Improvement after-bath moisture retention.

Hair Care
(Shampoos,Conditioners, Treatments, and Perming Solutions)
Viscosity in aqueous surfactant solutions improves proportionate application and foam stability.
Adsorption (coating formation) over hair yields luster and a moist texture.
Stability of viscosity is improved as a result of higher salinity tolerance and chemical resistance; it is suitable for hair relaxer solutions, which require stickiness.
Viscosity makes treatment easy, while silkiness is obtained by formation of a coating..
1350 SE600
SE850

Skin Care
(Basic Skin care(Gels), Serums, Nourishing Creams, and Body Shampoos)
Moisture retention, Increasing viscosity, excellent transparency.
Improvement in alkali resistance, chemical resistance and resistance to rotting. Smooth fluidity is obtained. Increases viscosity in surfactants.
1290 SE900
Hair Dyes
Used as a powder formulation mainly in hair dyes.
Water is added immediately before use and a cream is formed for fast dissolution and better viscosity stability.
