Carboxy Methyl Tamarind (CMT) is a chemically modified derivative of Tamarind Kernel Powder. The modification introduces carboxymethyl groups into the molecule, making it cold-water soluble and enhancing its thickening, stabilizing, and gelling properties for industrial applications.

CMT is produced by treating Tamarind Kernel Powder with monochloroacetic acid under controlled conditions. This process replaces hydroxyl groups with carboxymethyl groups, resulting in a water-soluble polymer with improved viscosity, film formation, and stability.

CMT is used in textile printing, paper manufacturing, food processing, cosmetics, oil drilling, and explosives. It acts as a thickener, stabilizer, sizing agent, and binder, depending on the application.

CMT provides smooth paste flow, high color yield, and sharp prints on fabrics. It works efficiently with reactive and disperse dyes, making it a natural and eco-friendly alternative to synthetic printing thickeners.

CMT is biodegradable, non-toxic, and renewable. It offers consistent viscosity, excellent film-forming ability, and strong adhesion, making it a sustainable choice for industries looking to reduce chemical dependency.

CMT is widely used in the textile, paper, food, cosmetic, oil & gas, and explosives industries for its versatile thickening and binding capabilities.

CMT should be stored in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight. When properly stored, it has a shelf life of around 12–18 months without losing its functional properties.
