Product description

Carboxymethylcellulose is used in the treatment of dry eyes. 
It is used as a lubricant to relive irritation and discomfort due to
 dryness of the eyes or due to exposure of the eyes to wind or sun.

Applications

Soluble carboxymethylcelluloses available in varying viscosities are used as viscosity modifiers (thickeners) to stabilize emulsions and as a chemical dispersants of oils and other carbon structures such as nanotubes. CMCs are used in the development of biostructures such as biofilms, emulsions and nanoparticles for drug delivery. Carboxymethylcellulose, high viscosity, may be used to make solutions the consistency of creams or lotions.

Also known as

CARBOXY METHYL CELLULOSE SODIUM SALT HIGH 1100 - 1900 CPS

Notes

Cellulose is the most copious naturally occurring
“biopolymer”. The main constituent of various natural
fibers such as cotton and higher plants is cellulose. It
consists of long chains of anhydro-D-glucopyranose units
(AGU) with each cellulose molecule having three hydroxyl
groups per AGU, except at the terminal ends. Cellulose is
insoluble in water and most common solvents; the poor
solubility is accredited primarily to the strong
intramolecular and intermolecular hydrogen bonding
between the individual chains. Cellulose is the most copious naturally occurring

a single resource.The technical complexities associated with drug
development have increased in controlled delivery due to
challenges such as complex drug actives, and in cases of
biotech products, stabilization of the active ingredient. The
multidisciplinary understanding of polymers is thus
required including technical, safety, quality, and regulatory
aspects, which, prior to this effort, has not been available in
a single resource.
