High clarity and viscosity carbomer
INCI Name: Carbomer
NM-Carbomer 940HC is a
cross-linked polyacrylate polymer.HC means high clarity. It is used
as a high-efficient rheology
modifier, capable of providing excellent clarity. When
neutralized by alkali it forms sparkling clear water or hydroalcoholic gels and
creams.
Features and Benefits
1: Short
flow properties
2: High
viscosity
3: High
clarity
Recommended Applications
1, Hair
styling gels
2, Hydroalcoholic
gels
3, Moisturizing
gels
4, Bath
gels
5, Hand,
body and face lotions
6, Creams
Formula Guidelines
l
Typical
recommended dosage at 0.2~1.0 wt %.
l
To
disperse NM-Carbomer940 completely, it should be slowly and carefully sprinkled
to dispersion medium while the mix is stirred rapidly to avoid formation of
lumps; extremely high shear rate mixer should be carefully employed to avoid
viscosity loss.
l
The
ideal viscosity can be achieved at pH ranges of 5.0~10.0 when neutralized; In a
hydoalcoholic system, a correct neutralizer must be chosen carefully based on
the amount of alcohol to be gelled.
l
After
neutralization, high-shear and lasting stirring should be avoided to keep
stable thickening ability.
