Carboxy Methyl Cellulose
This table is your Carboxy Methyl Cellulose (CMC) cheat sheet. At a glance it shows what CMC delivers in mud and cement, which LV or HV grade to choose, how to disperse it cleanly, and the results you can expect. Use it to match the grade to your design, avoid fisheyes during mixing, and keep filtration and rheology on target.

| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Roles in mud | Fluid-loss control, viscosity modification, smoother rheology, wellbore support |
| Roles in cement | Homogenizes slurry, reduces water demand, limits segregation, improves workability |
| Grades | LV and HV, both API-certified |
| Solubility | Water-soluble with proper dispersion and wet-out |
| Compatibility | Most water-based mud systems and cement formulations |
| Mixing tips | Sift in slowly with strong agitation to avoid fisheyes and lumping |
| Typical benefits | Lower filtration, stable gels, consistent cement finish |
