LAMBERTI FOOD CMC - PRODUCT RANGE
Several CARBOCEL F food CMC grades have been developed to comply with specific customer requirements.
They differ in viscosity, degree of substitution and in particle size distribution. 

VISCOSITY
CMC viscosity is very sensitive to: concentration, temperature and shear rate. 
To optimise quality control CARBOCEL F are tested by using Brookfield viscometer at two different concentrations in water while maintaining fixed temperature (25°C) and spindle speed (30 rpm).

DEGREE OF SUBSTITUTION
Following the main legislation requirements for foodstuffs CARBOCEL F CMC are manufacture with standard substitution degrees between 0.7 and 0.95.

PARTICLE SIZE
All our CMC grades are available in different particle sizes. The standard grades are listed below:

 

4Code	4Type	4Particle size
F	regular	95% thru 12 Mesh
XF	fine	95% thru 60 Mesh
CF	granular	95% pass thru 12 Mesh, 95% residual on 100 Mesh

CODES
Any CARBOCEL F food grade CMC is coded with a number that is proportional to the viscosity of the product and letters which specify its particle size (see above).
Additional grades are available and bespoke products can also be developed to meet specific requirements.
