Technical Grade CMC Flakes from Japan

Technical-grade carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) in flake form, used as a binder in paper sizing and as a thickener in textile printing pastes. The flakes are a primary form of the cellulose ether, and the sodium salt is the predominant variant. This product is not chemically modified beyond the standard carboxymethylation.

Import Tips

• Verify the CMC is in flake form and not further processed into articles, as that would change the tariff classification

• Declare the exact viscosity grade and purity to support the technical-grade designation

• If the CMC is blended with other polymers, check whether it still qualifies as a single polymer under the subheading note
