Features Of Ashland CMC BVH8 Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose

  1. High-viscosity, low-substitution sodium carboxymethyl cellulose optimized for thickening and suspension stability in aqueous systems.

  2. Excellent salt tolerance and performance retention in moderate ionic strength environments.

  3. Consistent batch-to-batch rheological behavior due to tightly controlled degree of substitution (DS) and molecular weight distribution.

  4. Fast hydration with minimal lumping, enabling efficient cold-water dispersion in industrial mixing processes.

  5. Non-ionic character combined with anionic charge provides balanced compatibility with surfactants, polymers, and electrolytes.

Typical Applications Of Ashland CMC BVH8 Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose

  1. Oilfield drilling fluids — as a viscosifier and fluid-loss control additive in bentonite-based muds.

  2. Construction mortars and tile adhesives — for water retention, workability enhancement, and sag resistance.

  3. Pharmaceutical suspensions and oral liquid formulations — as a stabilizer and suspending agent meeting USP/NF standards.

  4. Textile printing pastes — providing high viscosity, shear-thinning flow, and pigment fixation.

  5. Food-grade industrial applications where regulatory compliance and functional consistency are critical.
