Ngaba i-CMC yi-ether?

I-Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) ayiyo-ether ye-cellulose ngokwengqiqo yemveli. Iphuma kwiselulosi, kodwa igama elithi “ether” alisetyenziswa ngokuthe ngqo ukuchaza i-CMC. Endaweni yoko, i-CMC ihlala ibizwa ngokuba yi-cellulose derivative okanye i-cellulose gum.

I-CMC iveliswa ngokuguqula iikhemikhali zeselulosi ngokungeniswa kwamaqela e-carboxymethyl kumqolo we-cellulose. Olu hlengahlengiso lunika ukunyibilika kwamanzi kunye noluhlu lweempawu ezisebenzayo kwiselulosi, okwenza i-CMC ibe yipolymer eguquguqukayo kwaye isetyenziswa ngokubanzi.

Iipropati eziphambili kunye nokusetyenziswa kweCarboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) ziquka:

1. Ukunyibilika kwamanzi:
   • I-CMC inyibilika emanzini, yenza izisombululo ezicacileyo nezibonakalayo.
2. Ukutyebisa kunye nokuzinzisa:
   • I-CMC isetyenziswa njenge-arhente yokuqina kumashishini ahlukeneyo, kuquka ukutya, amayeza, kunye nezinto zokuthambisa. Izinzisa i-emulsions kunye nokumiswa.
3. Ugcino lwamanzi:
   • Kwizinto zokwakha, i-CMC isetyenziselwa iipropati zayo zokugcina amanzi, ukuphucula ukusebenza.
4. Ukwenziwa kwefilimu:
   • I-CMC inokwenza iifilimu ezibhityileyo, ezibhetyebhetye, ziyenze ilungele ukugquma, izinto zokuncamathelisa, kunye nokusetyenziswa kwamayeza.
5. Ukubophelela kunye noKwahlulwa:
   • Kumayeza, i-CMC isetyenziswa njengesibophelelo kuqulunqo lwethebhulethi kwaye njenge-disintegrant ukunceda ekunyibilikeni kwethebhulethi.
6. Ishishini lokutya:
   • I-CMC iqeshwe njenge-thickener, i-stabilizer, kunye ne-binder yamanzi kwiimveliso zokutya ezahlukeneyo.

Ngelixa i-CMC ayiqhelekanga ukubizwa ngokuba yi-ether cellulose, yabelana ngokufana nezinye izinto eziphuma kwi-cellulose ngokwenkqubo yayo yokuphuma kunye nokukwazi kwayo ukuguqula iipropati zeselulosi kwizicelo ezahlukeneyo. Ubume bekhemikhali obuthile be-CMC bubandakanya amaqela e-carboxymethyl ancanyathiselwe kumaqela e-hydroxyl ye-polymer cellulose.
