Grand Carbomer 940

INCI Name: Carbomer

Carbomer 940, also known as Carbopol 940 or Carboxypoly-methylene, is a white powder that is a synthetic polymer of acrylic acid. It is used in many industries as a thickening, dispersing, suspending, emulsifying, stabilizing, binding, and film-forming agent: Pharmaceuticals, Cosmetics, Hair products, Skincare products, and Bath products

Application

Grand 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.

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

Properties

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

Applications:

1. Clear hydroalcoholic gel.
2. Lotion and cream
3. Hair styling gel
4. Shampoo
5. Body wash

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
