Carboxymethyl Starch
Carboxymethyl starch (CMS) is a modified natural biopolymer derived from starch through carboxymethylation, where hydroxyl (–OH) groups of starch are partially substituted with carboxymethyl (–CH₂–COOH) groups. This modification improves the functional properties of native starch while retaining its biodegradable and renewable nature.
CMS is water-soluble, non-toxic, biocompatible, and environmentally friendly. It exhibits good thickening, binding, film-forming, and stabilizing properties. Due to the presence of carboxyl groups, CMS shows enhanced swelling capacity, viscosity, and ionic interactions compared to native starch.

Features
Applications
Printing Thickener
Used a printing thickener.
Adhesivers & Glue
Adhesives, paints, water treatment, Mining Industries etc.
Chemical
In Soap, it increases suspending power & overall washing efficiency
Paper Machine
Metals
Yarn Sizing
Textile
Water Glue
Corrugation Gum
In the paper-making and dyeing industry for its property of retaining moisture and fluidizing.
CMS can be used for sizing mixture preparation for yarn sizing applications.
Welding electrodes
Used in Corrugated box gum along with plain tapioca & maize starch. The addition of Carboxymethyl starch will improve the mixture of corrugation paste by keeping tapioca starch in suspension during corrugation.
It is used in the textile industry as a thickening agent in textile printing paste and as a sizing agent, especially for hydrophilic yarn.
Used as adhesive sizing material for warp sizing, to size cotton yarn of small and medium size, linen yarn, and blended yarn.
