CMC Selection Logic · Process → Viscosity → Dosage → Cost
Start With the Process.
Define the Target Before the Grade.
A reference viscosity value is only one part of CMC selection. The practical question is how much formulated CMC is required to reach the target printing-paste viscosity while maintaining suitable rheology, printability and formulation compatibility.
Start With
Printing Process
Fabric type, printing route, dye system and the required print definition establish the application conditions.
Define
Target Viscosity & Dosage
Compare the target paste viscosity with the amount of thickener required to reach it under the actual formulation conditions.
Then Compare
Performance & Cost-in-Use
Evaluate DS direction, thickening efficiency, formulation compatibility and total thickener consumption — not only price/kg.
Higher thickening efficiency can reduce the addition level required to reach the same target paste viscosity, helping lower thickener consumption and improve formulation economics. Final dosage should always be confirmed under the customer's actual printing conditions.
CMC PRINTING THICKENER · MACHINE · FORMULA · COST-IN-USE
Match CMC to Your Printing Process & Current Thickener Formula
Start with the printing machine, current thickener formula and target paste viscosity. Flat screen, rotary screen and blended systems can require different rheology, screen passage and dosage. Identify the closest production route first, then compare HD, MD and LD under the same viscosity target and printing conditions.
FLAT
Flat Screen · Textile Printing
CMC for Flat Screen Printing Flat Screen
Evaluate paste body, working viscosity, screen passage and squeegee transfer under the actual formulation. The practical route is the one that reaches the required print result without unnecessary thickener consumption.
Focus on paste body, screen passage and actual dosage.
- Paste Body
- Screen Passage
- Squeegee Transfer
ROTARY
Rotary Screen · Continuous Printing
CMC for Rotary Screen Printing Rotary Screen
Rotary production places more emphasis on paste rheology, screen mesh and continuous running stability. Compare the CMC dosage required to maintain target viscosity and consistent print definition during production.
Focus on rheology, running stability and required dosage.
- Paste Rheology
- Screen Mesh
- Run Stability
BLEND
Existing Printing Line · Blended Formula
CMC in Blended Thickener Systems Blended Formula
When CMC is blended with sodium alginate, PTA or another thickener, evaluate its viscosity contribution inside the complete formula. Compare compatibility, CMC ratio and total thickener dosage required for the same production result.
Compare CMC ratio, compatibility, dosage and cost-in-use.
- CMC Ratio
- Compatibility
- Total Dosage

Match Your Current CMC or Thickener Current CMC Match
For replacement or second-source evaluation, share the current TDS / COA, viscosity test condition, DS, dosage and target paste viscosity. FSX can narrow an HD, MD or LD starting route for side-by-side production testing.
Share TDS, test condition, dosage and target viscosity.

CMC TECHNICAL COMPARISON
Compare LD, MD and HD by the Parameters That Matter
Compare degree of substitution, reference viscosity, test basis and formulation fit before selecting a starting trial route. For production economics, also compare the dosage required to reach the same target printing-paste viscosity.
LD
Reactive / Disperse Blending
Flexible formulated CMC route where compatibility with PTA, alginate or other blended thickener systems is evaluated.
MD
General Reactive & Blending
Balanced formulated CMC route for general reactive printing and formulation adjustment.
HD
Higher-Performance Reactive
Higher-DS formulated CMC route for reactive textile printing evaluation.
Typical specifications are shown above; batch values are confirmed by COA.
CMC PREPARATION & STARTING FORMULA
From CMC Powder to Printing Paste
CMC is gradually dispersed, fully hydrated and then adjusted to the required production viscosity. The formula below provides a general trial reference rather than a fixed production recipe.
CMC Powder
Dry CMC thickener ready for preparation.
Gradual Dispersion
Add CMC gradually under continuous mixing.
Mix & Hydrate
Continue mixing until a uniform hydrated paste is formed.
Adjust & Use
Adjust the final system to the target production viscosity.
General Starting Formula
PROCESS ADJUSTMENT
One Formula Does Not Fit Every Printing Line
These conditions determine the final ratios and required CMC addition level.
VISCOSITY & COST-IN-USE
Higher Effective Thickening Can Reduce Required Dosage
A more efficient thickener system may reach the same target production viscosity with less addition. Compare actual consumption, not price/kg alone.
