NM –Carbomer 30
INCI
Name: Carbomer
NM-Carbomer
30 is a white powder, cross-linked homopolymer of polyacrylic acid that is
polymerized in a toxicologically preferred cosolvent system. It offers good
electrolyte tolerance, high thickening performance in a broad pH range, and a
rich, distinct sensory in challenging skin care formulations. NM-Carbomer 30
allows the formulator to achieve desired rheological and aesthetic properties
in the presence of electrolytes or acidic actives required for consumer
products. Its high electrolyte tolerance and broad pH compatibility make it
ideal for formulating products with botanical extracts or water-soluble salts,
as well as acidic ingredients such as alpha hydroxy acids, salicylic acid, or
organic acid preservatives.
NM-Carbomer 30 is the equivalent with Carbopol Ultrez 30 polymer.
Its property is similar to carbopol Ultrez 10 polymer, carbopol Ultrez 20 polymer.

TR-1
INCI
Name: Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Cross polymer
Non-ethoxylated
polymer to simplify the formulation of mild, oil-in-water emulsions great for
sunscreen formulations
NM-Carbomer TR-1 is a high molecular weight, cross-linked
copolymer of acrylic acid and a hydrophobic C10-30 alkyl acrylate co-monomer.
It is a versatile, non-ethoxylated polymer designed to create stable and mild
oil-in-water emulsions at low use levels. It is a great choice for use in many
skin care formulations. NM-Carbomer TR-1 emulsifier should be used with carbomers
to provide greater thickening properties where higher viscosity emulsions are
required
NM-Carbomer
TR-2
INCI
Name: Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Cross polymer
Non-ethoxylated
polymer to simplify the formulation of mild, oil-in-water emulsions great for
sunscreen formulations
NM-Carbomer TR-2 is a high molecular
weight, cross-linked copolymer of acrylic acid and a hydrophobic C10-30 alkyl
acrylate co-monomer. It is a versatile, non-ethoxylated polymer designed to
create stable and mild oil-in-water emulsions at low use levels. It is a great
choice for use in many skin care formulations. NM-Carbomer TR-2 provides low
viscosity emulsions particularly suitable for skin care applications via spray
mechanism.
NM-ST 2623 Rheology Control
Additive
Synthetic thickener
NM-ST 2623 Rheology control additive is a powdered synthetic
thickener based on polyacrylic acid. Being used in aqueous systems for a
variety of different purposes in printing, coating or other technical
applications.
It
demonstrates ion insensitivity to electrolytes which may be present in dye
printing systems, combined with efficient thickening performance. This resin is un-neutralized
and requires addition of an appropriate neutralizing agent to achieve maximum
thickening efficiency. Neutralized dispersions of the NM-ST 2623 show high
viscosity and high yield stress and can be used for suspending pigments or
other particles in an aqueous system.
NM-ST A30 Rheology Control
Additive
Alkali swellable emulsion thickener
NM-ST A30 Rheology Control Additive is a 30% active
polymeric water-based thickener which will improve dispersion rheology and
settling in aqueous paints and inks.
