I need 1-2% solution of SCMC for my study. But it is very difficult to dissolve it into an aqueous solution. Suggest me a good method for making this solution.
Rishipal Yadav sonicate it. it will increase the dispersibility of your CMC in water. otherwise it will take longer time to get homogeneous dispersion.
its better to prepare solution CMC gel in luke warm water with continuous stirring. you should always sprinkle the powder in slow rate and try to mix it into warm water, don't let the powder become flakes.
