Industrial Process Economics Reports About Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), also known as cellulose gum, is a cellulose ether and an extremely versatile polymer. It is used extensively in the food, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics industries. The Intratec portfolio (www.intratec.us/our-portfolio) includes reports examining specific CMC production processes. Each report presents one-time costs associated with the construction of an industrial plant and the continuing costs associated with the daily operation of such a plant. General
