Carboxymethyl Tamarind Kernel Powder (CMT or CMTKP)

Carboxymethyl Tamarind Kernel Powder (CMT or CMTKP) is an anionic water
soluble polymer; it is derived from Tamarind Kernel Powder (TKP), which is
made cold water soluble by a chemical reaction (Carboxymethylation). Cold
water solubility is achieved by introducing carboxymethyl groups (-CH2-
COOH) along the polysaccharide chain, which makes hydration of the molecule
possible in cold water.
CMT is modified Tamarind Kernel Powder (TKP), TKP extracted from seeds of
Tamarind Tree (Tamarindus Indica). Tamarind is an evergreen tree grows
mainly in India & also in other part of world. Today; India is the largest
producer of tamarind.
Tamarind seeds are processed in to CMT by seed selection, seed coat
removal, separation, hammer milling, grinding, sieving, chemical
processing, drying, grinding and sieving.
CMT is bio-compatible, bio-degradable, non- toxic & modified natural
polymer.
CMT is derivatives of Polysaccharides composed of Glucosyl : Xylosyl :
Galactosyl in ration of 3:2:1.
CMT is water solutions are Non-Newtonian and yield higher viscosities than
most of starch derivatives at equivalent concentrations.

APPLICATIONS
1) CMT widely used as textile printing thickener.
2) CMT also used for sizing in jute yarn & cotton warp.
3) CMT has extensive use in paper & explosive industry where it is used as
viscosity builder.
4) CMT used as a binder in slurry explosive as a substitute for guar gum.
5) CMT used as a core binder in foundries & mosquito coils.
6) CMT used as a sizing material in paper industry.
7) CMT very effectively used these days by oil drilling companies as soil
stabilizer.
8) CMT has numerous other applications & its low cost gives it an edge over
other thickening agents.
