NM-Carbomer
970
INCI
Name: Carbomer
NM-Carbomer 970 is a cross-linked polyacrylate
polymer, polymerized in co-solvent system of ethyl acetate and cyclohexane. It
can provide high viscosity, excellent thickening and suspending performance
with low-dosage. Its short flow (non-drip) properties are ideal for
applications such as clear gels, hydroalcoholic gels, hand sanitizing gels,
creams. When neutralized by alkali it forms sparkling clear water or
hydroalcoholic gels and creams.

Formula Guidelines
1)Typical
recommended dosage at 0.2~1.0 wt %.
2)To disperse NM-Carbomer 970 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.
3)The
ideal viscosity can be achieved at pH ranges of 5.0~10.0 when neutralized; In a
hydroalcoholic system, a correct neutralizer must be chosen carefully based on
the amount of alcohol to be gelled.
After neutralization, high-shear and lasting stirring should be avoided
to keep stable thickening ability.
