CARBOXYMETHYL CELLULOSE WITH IMPROVED PROPERTIES

摘要

The present application relates to processes for imparting improved properties to carboxymethyl cellulose, for example, a process for producing an aqueous dispersible carboxymethyl cellulose is described, comprising introducing carboxymethyl cellulose into a high shear mixer, adding at least 20 percent water by weight to the carboxymethyl cellulose without additional surface treatment additives, forming carboxymethyl cellulose agglomerates, and drying the agglomerates by non-contact drying means to form the aqueous dispersible carboxymethyl cellulose.
