Carmellose Calcium is a calcium salt of carboxymethyl cellulose, synthesized via etherification of cellulose with sodium chloroacetate followed by calcium neutralization. It serves as a non-ionic thickening and binding agent in industrial formulations. Its molecular formula is typically represented as (C6H7O2)(OH)x(OCH2COO)zCa1/2, with CAS No. 9004-38-0.
Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture to prevent caking. Avoid inhalation of dust; use appropriate respiratory protection during handling. Not suitable for patients with severe gastrointestinal obstruction or known hypersensitivity to cellulose derivatives.
