(CMC) Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose is hygroscopic and dissolves well in hot or cold water, forming a viscous solution.
(CMC) Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose is not soluble in organic solvents like methanol, ethanol, acetone, chloroform, and benzene.

STRUCTURE AND PROPERTIES OF (CMC) SODIUM CARBOXYMETHYL CELLULOSE
Structure:
(CMC) Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose is a derivative of the regenerated cellulose [C6H10O5]n with hydroxy-acetic acid (hydroxyethanoic acid) CH2(OH)COOH or sodium monochloroacetate (Na[ClCH2COO]).
The (CMC) Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose backbone consists of D-glucose residues linked by -1,4-linkage.
It has carboxymethyl groups (-CH2-COOH) bound to some of the hydroxyl groups of the glucopyranose monomers that make up the cellulose backbone.

PREPARATION OF (CMC) SODIUM CARBOXYMETHYL CELLULOSE
(CMC) Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose is synthesized by the alkali-catalyzed reaction of cellulose with chloroacetic acid.
The polar (organic acid) carboxyl groups render the cellulose soluble and chemically reactive.
Fabrics made of cellulose – e.g., cotton or viscose (rayon) – may also be converted into CMC.

Following the initial reaction, the resultant mixture produces approximately 60% CMC and 40% salts (sodium chloride and sodium glycolate).
(CMC) Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose, called technical CMC, is used in detergents.

An additional purification process is used to remove salts to produce pure (CMC) Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose, which is used for food and pharmaceutical applications.

Look down and gently close your eye for 1 or 2 minutes.

Place one finger at the corner of the eye near the nose and apply gentle pressure.
This will prevent the medication from draining away from the eye.

For an ointment, hold the tube directly over the eye and gently squeeze a small strip (one-fourth of an inch or roughly 6 millimeters) of ointment into the pouch.
Release the eyelid, close the eye, and slowly roll your eye in all directions to spread the medication.

Blot away any extra ointment from around the eye with a clean tissue.
If you are also using another kind of eye medication (such as drops or ointments), wait at least 5 minutes before applying other medications.
Use eye drops before eye ointments to allow the eye drops to enter the eye.
