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
