Grand Carbomer 980

Grand Carbomer 980 is a cross-linked polyacrylate polymer, polymerized in co-solvent system of ethyl acetate and cyclohexane. 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.

INCI Name: Carbomer

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 980 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 favorable suspending agent.

Properties:

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