If interested, other grade CMC details as below:

Detergent Grade	Effectively prevent washes from becoming contaminated after being washed by synthetic detergent.Add 0.5-2 percent only, you can get satisfactory result.Because the action of static between fomite granule with minus charge and CMC molecule with minus charge itself. Make washing liquid more viscouse and the effect of washing more stable.
Oil Drilling & Mining Grade	CMC is a high-purity, high-efficiency slurrying agent. It is resistant to salt, base and moisture, compatible with sea water and saturated brine. It is a strong thickener, suitable for in-situ preparation with dry powder. It is used in mining flotation to separate the metals and impurities. It can help to reduce the pollution to the environment.
Paint Grade	CMC is a good thickener in the preparation of paint.It is compatible with most surfactants and stabilizers in waterborne system.It improves rheological property of the paint.
Toothpaste Grade	CMC has an efficiency of adhesion and molding when used in toothpaste, and stabilizes the quality of toothpaste owing to good compatibleness.
Ceramic Grade	CMC for ceramics features uniform distribution of substituents   (carboxymethyl group) on the cellulose backbone. It produces fewer gel granules in glaze formulation.  It contains no colored impurity and is 100% combustible under firing condition, to ensure clean ceramic glaze. It can stabilize physical and chemical property of glaze formulation. It can improve glaze adhesion and reduce glaze cracking.
Medicine Grade	In medicine industry CMC can be used as thickener, stabilizer and water-holding agent for medicine syrup, it can also be used as water holding and dispersing agent for soft paste medicine. Used as disintegration of the tablet, it can control the release of medicine. CMC also can be used as emulsifying oil agent in injection process.
Textile Grade	CMC is used as woof trimming agent replacing traditional starch paste material,which can reduce pollution of woof during sizing and desizing.At the same time,CMC can form a membrane on woof which reduces"drop woof" and "decollation" sign. CMC can be used as printing material for dye-trimming industry and it can improve hydrophilic force and osmosis force of dye material,making dying more even and reducing chromatism.
Paper Grade	CMC is used as paper gluing agent to provide paper with high compactability, fine anti-ink osmosis and high was gathering capability. CMC can help control colour paste flowing for paper and during paper variegation. Increase paper strength and flod-resistance and improve stickiness in paper cellulose
Tobacco Grade	CMC for cigarette features high purity and fine particle size, suitable for tobacco processing. It can improve the wet tack and film strength of tobacco. The tobacco treated with CMC produces no foreign odor when burned. The ash is grayish white.  It dissolves fast and can achieve the desired viscosity in a short time.
Mosquito-repellent incense Grade	Every group evenly mixed and able to replace elm wood powder,so it has better formability and smoother surface.Improved toughness of mosquito -repellent incense.which can prevent from denting and cracking. Each group of mosquito-repellent incense compatible to achieve better medicine effect.
