Adhesives with CMC, or carboxymethyl cellulose, are a popular solution used in many industries. CMC is a cellulose derivative which, due to its chemical properties, has found wide use as an additive for adhesives. Adhesives enriched with CMC are characterised by increased viscosity and improved stability, making them ideal for use in paper production, the food industry and construction work.
Adhesive viscosity and stability
The addition of CMC to adhesives significantly affects their viscosity, which is key to the effectiveness of bonding. Thanks to these properties, the adhesives spread easily on the surface, ensuring an even and precise joining of the materials. The high viscosity makes CMC adhesives adhere well even to difficult surfaces, making them versatile in a variety of applications. In addition, the stability of these adhesives in water solutions means that they retain their properties even in more difficult conditions, which is important in the manufacturing and construction industries. The Pronicel Group is the CMC producer in Poland.
Use in various sectors
Adhesives with CMC are widely used in many sectors. In the paper industry, CMC acts as a bonding agent, which helps to produce strong paper and cardboard. In the construction industry, these adhesives are used to bond ceramic tiles, making the joints durable and water-resistant. And, in the food industry, adhesives with CMC can be used as stabilisers or thickeners to improve product quality and consistency. In each of these areas, CMC acts as a substance that increases the efficiency and productivity of production processes. The Pronicel Group specialises in supplying adhesives with CMC added.
Safety and environmental protection
Adhesives with CMC are valued not only for their performance properties, but also for their safety. Carboxymethyl cellulose is a non-toxic and biodegradable substance, making it healthy and safe to use. In many cases, these adhesives can be used even in environments requiring high hygienic standards, such as the food and pharmaceutical industries. In addition, CMC does not adversely affect the chemical structures of adhesives, making it possible to maintain adhesive properties over a long period of time without any loss of quality.
