Grand Carbomer 2020 is a cross-linked polyacrylic acid copolymer processed in a cosolvent system of ethyl acetate and cyclohexane. It has a long viscous flow property, imparts excellent thickening and suspending capability, especially in surfactant systems, and forms sparkling clarity gels. Grand Carbomer 2020 has the ability to wet quickly but hydrate slowly, uncoiling at a relatively lower rate. This feature makes it easy to disperse and provides easily made dispersions in water less susceptible to lumping and easier to pump and handle in the process due to its low dispersion viscosity before neutralization.
