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.
Carbomer is a nanoscale acrylic acid resin, swelling with water, adding a small amount of mixture (such as triethanolamine, sodium hydroxide), the formation of high transparent coagulation, Carbomer different models on behalf of different viscosity, short rheological or long rheological said.
Uni-Carbomer 941 is a crosslinked acrylic polymer with long rheological properties that can form low viscosity permanent emulsions and suspensions in ionic systems.And can form a crystal transparent water or water alcohol gel and cream. Uni-Carbomer 941 has a strong moisturizing ability, acting as a low-dosage thickener and suspending agent with outstanding long flow property. And it can be used in ionic systems.
Properties:
1.Outstanding long flow property
2. High clarity
3. Resist temperature effect to viscosity
Applications:
1. Topical lotions, creams and gels
2. Clear gels
3. Moderately ionic systems
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
