Carboxymethyl Cellulose
AM2F Energy Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) is manufactured from natural
cellulose through etherification, purification, followed by drying process. It is
an odorless and nontoxic strong flocculent which can be easily dissolved either
in cold or hot water.
AM2F Energy CMC is used as fracturing fluid, well cementing fluid and drilling
fluid additive, where it acts as a viscosity agent and fluid loss controller.
AM2F Energy CMC is available in two industrial grades and a high purity grade.
