Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) Production Plant Cost 2025: Setup Detials, Raw Material Requirements and Infrastructure

Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), also known as cellulose gum, is a water-soluble polymer derived from cellulose. It is widely used as a thickener, stabilizer, binder, and emulsifier in industries such as food & beverages, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, detergents, paper, textiles, and oil drilling. A CMC production plant focuses on the chemical modification of natural cellulose using chloroacetic acid under alkaline conditions, followed by purification, drying, and packaging to obtain high-quality grades for diverse applications.
