Carboxy Methyl Starch​
Carboxymethyl starch (CMS) is a modified starch with carboxymethyl groups (-CH2COO-) attached to the starch molecule. It’s a water-soluble polysaccharide with unique properties, widely used as an additive in various industries. CMS is known for its thickening, stabilization, and water-preserving capabilities. Â
Functional Properties and Applications:
- Solubility: CMS is highly soluble in cold water, making it easy to incorporate into various formulations. Â
- Thickening and Stabilization: It acts as an effective thickening and stabilizing agent in many applications, improving product consistency and preventing separation. Â
- Water Preservation: CMS can help retain moisture, making it useful in applications where water retention is desired. Â
- Biodegradable and Non-toxic: CMS is a biodegradable and non-toxic material, making it an environmentally friendly option. Â
- Cost-effective: In some applications, CMS can be used as a cost-effective replacement for other materials, such as alginate in textile printing.
STORAGE:
- Store in cool and dry place.
- No direct sunlight and ventilated area.

why choose us
The Smart Starch Solution for Every Industry.
CMS is widely used in various industries, including textiles (warp sizing), printing (thickener for pastes), detergents (cost-effective replacement for similar additives), welding rods (binder for coatings), and oil drilling (used in drilling fluids).
CMS should be stored in a cool, dry, and ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, to ensure its stability and effectiveness.
Rapid Starch provides CMS in 25 KG and 50 KG PP bags, making it suitable for industrial-scale applications.
CMS is biodegradable, non-toxic, and water-soluble, forming a transparent, viscous liquid when mixed with water. It offers good emulsifying, thickening, and binding properties at an economical cost.
The CMS by Rapid Starch is produced in India, ensuring high-quality standards and availability for various industries.
