Description

Carboxymethyl Inulin

Carboxymethyl Inulin is a high-purity, water-soluble polysaccharide derivative used in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, personal care, and industrial formulations for its chelating, stabilizing, binding, and rheology-modifying properties. Produced by controlled carboxymethylation of Inulin, it provides enhanced solubility, improved metal-ion binding capacity, and strong performance in aqueous systems.
Carboxymethyl Inulin appears as a white to off-white hygroscopic powder that dissolves readily in water to form clear to slightly opalescent solutions. Its anionic nature contributes to excellent dispersibility, electrolyte tolerance, and compatibility with a broad range of formulation components.
In pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and personal care applications, Carboxymethyl Inulin is used in:
• Topical gels, creams, and emulsions requiring natural stabilizers
• Skin and hair care formulations for conditioning and moisture retention
• Oral care products for binding and dispersing actives
• Parenteral and oral systems requiring biocompatible excipients
• Controlled-release matrices and hydrogel systems
• Natural and eco-friendly formulations needing biodegradable components
In industrial and technical applications, Carboxymethyl Inulin is used in:
• Chelation and sequestration of metal ions
• Water-treatment systems requiring biodegradable dispersing agents
• Detergents, cleaners, and surface treatment products
• Textile and paper processing as a stabilizer and binder
Carboxymethyl Inulin enhances formulation stability by preventing precipitation of metal-sensitive ingredients, improving suspension uniformity, and contributing to smoother product texture. It provides natural and sustainable functionality while maintaining strong performance under varied pH and temperature conditions.
CarboMer supplies Carboxymethyl Inulin with control over degree of substitution, molecular weight distribution, solubility profile, moisture content, and microbial purity. The material is suitable for regulated pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and industrial applications.
The material is packaged in sealed, moisture-resistant, tamper-evident containers. Available in laboratory, pilot, and commercial-scale quantities. Documentation includes Certificate of Analysis (CoA), Safety Data Sheet (SDS), and complete traceability.
Each batch is tested for identity (FTIR), degree of substitution, viscosity, loss on drying, pH, and microbial limits. CarboMer provides formulation assistance to ensure optimal integration into both natural and high-performance formulations.
As with all CarboMer polysaccharide derivatives, Carboxymethyl Inulin is supported by reliable global supply, stringent quality control, and technical expertise to ensure safe, consistent, and high-quality performance across applications.
