CMC-NH4 | Ammonium Carboxymethyl Cellulose for SCR Catalyst Binder and Ceramic Applications
Ammonium Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC-NH4) is a high-performance cellulose derivative developed for advanced ceramic processing and catalyst manufacturing. It is an ammonium salt of carboxymethyl cellulose, produced through chemical modification of natural cellulose.
CMC-NH4 is a white, odorless, water-soluble powder with excellent binding, thickening, dispersion, and rheological control properties. It is specially designed for applications requiring low ash content, sodium-free composition, and clean thermal decomposition performance.
Compared with traditional Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC-Na), CMC-NH4 provides better performance in high-temperature processes, making it an ideal additive for SCR denitration catalysts, honeycomb ceramics, battery materials, and electronic ceramics.
