Transforming Agricultural Waste into Eco-Friendly, High-Quality Thickeners for Various Industries.
Carboxymethyl Tamarind (CMT)
Description: Carboxymethyl Tamarind (CMT) is a sustainable thickener derived from tamarind seed polysaccharides, chemically modified to improve its solubility and functionality in various applications.
Applications: CMT is widely used in the textile, dyeing, and printing industries due to its excellent film-forming properties and viscosity control. It’s also suitable for food and cosmetic applications as a stabilizer and thickener.
Benefits: Eco-friendly and biodegradable, Reduces dependency on synthetic thickeners, and Cost-effective alternative to imported thickeners
Technical Details: Appearance: Off-white to light brown powder, Solubility: Water-soluble with high viscosity, pH Stability: Stable across a wide pH range, and Recommended Concentration: 1-2% depending on application
Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC)
Description: Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) is a versatile, water-soluble polymer derived from cellulose, used widely as a thickener, stabilizer, and emulsifier.
Applications: Extensively used in food products (e.g., ice cream, sauces), detergents, paper, and textile industries.
Benefits: Enhances texture and viscosity in food applications, Provides stability in liquid detergents and cleaners, and Non-toxic, making it safe for food and personal care applications
Technical Details: Appearance: White to light yellow powder, Solubility: Highly soluble in water, Viscosity Range: 1000-3000 cps depending on grade, and Dosage: 0.1-1% in food, 0.5-2% in industrial applications
Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC)
Description: HPMC is a cellulose derivative commonly used as a thickening, emulsifying, and stabilizing agent in industries such as construction, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food.
Applications: Ideal for use in tile adhesives, wall putty, and joint fillers in construction. In the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries, it is used as a binder, emulsifier, and stabilizer.
Benefits: Non-toxic, safe for food and pharmaceutical applications, Highly stable under varying pH and temperature conditions, and Excellent water retention properties
Technical Details: Appearance: White or off-white powder, Viscosity: Adjustable based on application needs, pH Range: 5-7 for optimal performance, and Concentration: Typically used in concentrations of 0.5-2% in formulations
Tamarind Kernel Powder (TKP)
Description: Tamarind Kernel Powder is a natural thickener extracted from tamarind seeds, commonly used in the food and textile industries.
Applications: TKP is an ideal thickener in sauces, soups, and gravies in the food industry. It’s also used in textile sizing and paper industries.
Benefits: Natural, biodegradable, and safe for use in food products, Provides a cost-effective thickening solution, and Sustainable alternative to synthetic thickeners
Technical Details: Color: Light brown to beige, Solubility: Limited in cold water; requires heat for activation, Viscosity: High, especially when heated, and Suggested Use Level: 0.5-1% in food applications, 1-5% in industrial formulations
