Croscarmellose sodium by Research Lab Fine Chem Industries is a high grade reagent. This compound is an internally cross-linked sodium carboxymethylcellulose. This material has a reduced solubility in water, however it can still absorb water and swell. Croscarmellose is prepared by first soaking crude cellulose in sodium hydroxide, followed by reacting the cellulose with sodium monochloroacetate to form sodium carboxymethylcellulose. While it is stable under general conditions, this reagent is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents.
