Carbomer 940: The Premier Clear Gel Thickener In White Powder Form For Exquisite Hair Styling Gel Creations - Emerges As A Top-Notch Choice For Formulating High-Quality Hair Styling Gels

Common information:

• The main function of carbomer is to increase the viscosity of its products.
• It usually works in a neutral and constant environment, but once this environment is broken, the Ph value becomes acidic, and the viscosity of carbomer decreases, or even directly diluted.
• So cosmetics manufacturers will have a bias, if it is more acidic ingredients, carbomer is basically not too much use.

Basic properties:

• Carbomer 940 is a white, loose powder with high thickening properties, high transparency, medium viscosity, excellent suspension, easy dispersion, high ion resistance and shear resistance.
• It has high electrolyte resistance, high transparency and is suitable for formulations containing certain surfactant.
• It is specially designed for thickening of surfactant systems. This "easily dispersed" cross-linked polyacrylate copolymer is processed in a cosolvent system with toxicological advantages, resulting in excellent thickening efficiency, suspension capacity, long viscous flow properties, and crystal transparency in the gel system. Because of the low viscosity of the dispersion before neutralization, it is designed to reduce the effect of caking on the dispersion in water and to make it easier to pump and handle.
• Therefore, it is easier to prepare aqueous dispersion of Carbomer 940 in the case of high polymer solid content.

Suggested applications:

• Transparent gel
• Water alcohol gel
• Surfactant system (special shampoos, cleaning products, etc)
• A system with high electrolyte content (Aloe vera gel),etc.

Using Tips:

• After carbomer completely dissolves water, it needs to add alkaline substances to neutralize to achieve good results, such as triethanolamine, sodium hydroxide and so on.

Application:

1. Skin lotion or cream
2. Clear skin gel and hair styling gel
3. Shower gel
4. Body scrub

Advice:

• Recommended usage is 0.2~ 1.5wt %, while stirring the polymer evenly scattered in the medium, but to avoid agglomeration, fully stirred to disperse, and to pH 7.0~10 polymer has ideal thickening performance, after neutralization should avoid high-speed shear or stirring to reduce viscosity loss.
