CARBOXY METHYL CELLULOSE (CMC)

Carboxy   Methyl  Cellulose,  a  chemical  of   demonstrated
usefullness   in   scores  of  applications  and   of   suggested
applicability in hundreds, nevertheless required several  decades
to  attain  genuine  industrial status.  The  product  was  first
developed in Germany toward the end of World War I by Jansen, but
it  was until the late 1930’s and particularly during  and  since
world War II. that large scale uses began to energe &  commercial
production appeared justified.

Following  the  appearance  of  a  report,  the   detergency improving  characteristics of SCMC were confirmed  in  laboratory tests.   Extensive  investigations were under taken  by  research groups  with a view toward developing a CMC with the  high  grade soaps  and synthetic detergents already available on the  market.  At  the same time production methods were subjected to  scruting.   CMC had received the impetus necessary for the launching of a new Industrial  Chemical,  &  a  start  had  been  made  toward   the development of a process for its manufacture.
