As a thickener, stabilizer, and suspending agent, CMC builds the toothpaste matrix for stability and texture.
Key benefits:
Thickening – Forms a gel network for proper viscosity – extrudes as a ribbon, stays on the brush
Suspension – Prevents abrasives from settling – no water separation, no coarsening
Texture – Smooth, glossy paste with shear-thinning behavior – easy to extrude, quick recovery
Stability – Retains moisture, resists salt and heat, compatible with various ingredients
