Detergents
Gelogum:
This is one of the top and broadest application areas of our Carboxymethylcellulose. The main function of Gelogum is to prevent the redeposition of dirt that otherwise, gathering on certain points due to an electrostatic effect, it would produce stains therefore partly nullifying the effect of detergents. In fact, Gelogums act as protecting colloids and as such their presence is essential and vital.
Recommended products:
- Gelogum DL60
- Gelogum DL70
Sapoil:
They are liquid soaps made of coconut oil and oleic acid suitable for the formulation of household and industrial detergents.
Recommended products:
- Sapoil C40
- Sapoil OP
Bentonite
Carbofix:
Carbofix is used as an activator of bentonite with the objective of improving the suspending properties and providing viscosity to the final fluid.
Furthermore, Carbofix is preferable to natural starch and other organic colloids due to its particularly good resistance to hydrolysis and fermentation.
Recommended products:
- Carbofix AS3GK
Glues and adhesives
Carbofix:
CMC is a binder particularly resistant to fermentation and to all kind of bacteria. It is used as a glue in upright applications such as wallpaper and billboards.
It is also used as a thickener and stabilizer for other types of glues.
By the addition of convenient catalysts, CMC becomes a colourless and odourless gel suitable for various applications.
Recommended products:
- Carbofix CS6GP
- Carbofix SCT55
Gels and Thickeners
Geller:
The Gellers are a line of our products displaying peculiar thickening and gelling properties. In particular, Gellers afford the formation of colourless and odourless gels, suitable as a support for several applications (deodorants, disinfectants, etc.).
Paints
Carbofix:
The paint industry uses CMC to stabilize as well as to modify the viscosity of paints and emulsions, with the result of affording improved application characteristics of the product as well as of favouring the adhesion of paints to their substrates.
When used as a viscosity modifier, CMC improves viscosity and makes it consistent in paints based in acrylic resins, polyvinyl acetate, or styrene-butadiene latices.
Always, the use of CMC favours the suspension of pigments as well as the homogeneity of the final solution.
Recommended products:
- Carbofix 25P
- Carbofix LM3
Pencils and Chalks
Carbofix:
CMC is used by manufacturers of coloured leads for pencils, crayons and coloured chalks as a binder for pigments and plastic clays.
Recommended products:
- Carbofix PGP
- Carbofix LM3
- Carbofix AS15
Refractories
Carbofix:
The Carbofix’s are excellent binders in bulk mixture for refractories affording better working properties. In addition, after baking of the product, CMC is lost completely leaving no residues.
Recommended products:
- Carbofix 02
- Carbofix PGP
- Carbofix LM3
- Carbofix 02L (Legante Liquido)
Abrasives and Grindstones
Carbofix:
Likewise for the refractories, the use of CMC in the production of abrasive materials improves the workability of the bulk mixtures by binding the dust particles.
Recommended products:
- Carbofix 02
- Carbofix PGP
- Carbofix LM3
- Carbofix 02L (Legante Liquido)
Welding Electrodes
Carbofix:
Due to its binding properties, CMC is used to glue together the blend of powders to their support.
Once the electrode has been baked, the bulk of the active ingredient is devoid of foreign substances and therefore the welding process remains unmodified.
Recommended products:
- Carbofix 02
- Carbofix LM3
Accumulators and Batteries
Carbofix:
Carbofix is used for manufacturing accumulators and batteries for motor vehicles because of its binding properties of lead oxide.
Recommended product:
- Carbofix HT50
Foundries
Carbofix:
Our products Carbofix and Cartagel, when used in their powder form in the mould, favour the release of the finished product.
They prevent the formation of the casting cone when used on the casting’s open surface.
Recommended products:
- Carbofix 25P
- Carbofix D2
- Cartagel F
- Cartagel 1M
Coal briquettes
Carbofix:
the production of coal briquettes for barbecue and stoves, would be difficult without a natural binder. Our Carboxymethylcellulose allows to bind the carbonized wood dust making most resistant briquettes and giving greater cohesion, this would mean longer life and more uniform heat.
Recommended product:
- Carbofix 200RP
Stucco production
Celloplast:
Methylhydroxyethylcellulose specifically modified for gypsum stucco.
We have realized a multifunctional additive, a complete all-in-one component, recommended for fillers stuccos preparation, smooth and adhesives gypsum-based or gypsum/calcium carbonate based.
Recommended product:
- Celloplast S
Billboard
Carbofix and Cartagel:
Carboxymethylcellulose or Carboxymethylated Starch based glues, specific for billboard field.
