Uni-Carbomer 940HC / Carbomer

Short Description:

Uni-Carbomer 940HC is a cross-linked polyacrylate polymer. It is used as a high-efficient rheology modifier, capable of providing high viscosity , excellent thickening and suspending performance with low-dosage. It is also widely used in O/W lotions and creams as a favorable suspending agent. When neutralized by alkali it forms sparkling clear water or hydroalcoholic gels and creams.

Application

Carbomer is an important thickener. It is a high polymer crosslinked by acrylic acid or acrylate and allyl ether. Its components include polyacrylic acid (homopolymer) and acrylic acid / C10-30 alkyl acrylate (copolymer). As a water-soluble rheological modifier, it has high thickening and suspension properties, and is widely used in coatings, textiles, pharmaceuticals, construction, detergents and cosmetics.

Uni-Carbomer 940HC is a crosslinked polyacylate polymer with strong moisturizing ability, acting as high-efficient & low-dosage thickener and suspending agent. It can be neutralized by alkali to form clear gel with high clarity. Once its carboxyl group is neutralized, molecule chain expands extremely and viscidity comes up, due to mutually exclusion of negative charge. It can enhance yield value and rheology of liquid substances, thus it is easy to get insoluble ingredients (granule, oil drop) suspended at low dosage. It is widely used in O/W lotion and cream as favorable suspending agent.

Properties
1.High-efficient thickening, suspending and stabilizing ability at low dosage
2.Outstanding short flow (non-drip) property
3.High clarity
4.Resist temperature effect to viscosity

Applications:
Lotion and cream
Shampoo
Body wash

High clarity formulas:
Clear gel
Clear hydroalcoholic gel
Hair styling gel

Cautions:
Following operations are forbidden, otherwise result in loss of thickening ability:
– Lasting stir or high-shear stir after neutralization
– Lasting UV irradiation
– Combine with electrolytes
