The improvement of living standard is accompanied by more diverse food intake. With changing climates, people consume a wider variety of foods. Whether it is simple cooking or complex dishes, food residues often remain in the mouth and on the teeth, not to mention the intake of protein, oil, sugar and other foods far exceeds the historical average level of humanity in the past. This can lead to different oral problems in daily life due to dietary intake and unhealthy oral habits whether for adults or children. It is increasingly important to adhere to daily brushing for oral cleaning, and CMC is an important component of toothpaste.
At present, there are many kinds of toothpastes on the market. The effect is improved by adding sea salt, plants, enzymes and other ingredients, but CMC is one of its basic ingredients. Toothpaste paste is a kind of system composed of water, hydrophilic liquid raw materials, water-soluble solid raw materials, insoluble solid raw materials and oil soluble essence, under the action of thickening agent and surfactant (foaming agent). It is stablized and uniformly distributed into a complex, suspended colloid mixture.
Sodium CMC has good salt resistance and enzyme resistance, and is perfectly compatible with other raw materials in toothpaste, ensuring a uniform paste texture; its rheological properties and thixotropy guarantee that CMC effectively thickens the toothpaste; the characteristics of strong acid resistance and microbial resistance are suitable for the oral environment, which can effectively improve the cleaning effect of toothpaste. In addition, CMC, as a degradable, green chemical, is not added during the raw materials and production process, ensuring both safety and stability for human health.
