This product is a low viscosity carboxymethylcellulose (CMC); the viscosity of a 4% solution in water at 25 oC is 50-200 centipoise (cps). The viscosity is both concentration and temperature dependent. As the temperature increases, the viscosity decreases. As the concentration increases, the viscosity increases. Low, medium and high viscosity carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) are all used as suspending agents. Low viscosity CMC is usually used in "thin" aqueous solutions. Medium viscosity CMC is used to make solutions that look like a syrup. High viscosity CMC is used to make a mixture, which resembles a cream or lotion.
