| Applications |
Calcium carboxymethyl cellulose is mainly used in tablets. As a binder, diluent and disintegrator. Although calcium carboxymethyl cellulose is insoluble in water, it is an effective tablet disintegrator because it expands to several times its original volume upon contact with water. For use in tablets, the maximum use concentration is 15% (w/w); Above this concentration, the hardness of the tablet decreases. Calcium carboxymethyl cellulose also has other uses similar to sodium carboxymethyl cellulose; For example, it is used as a suspension aid or tackifier in oral and topical pharmaceutical preparations.
