Benzene free carbomer 940 - high viscosity traditional carbomer
INCI
Name: Carbomer
Benzene free carbomer 940 being polymerized in co-solvent system of ethyl acetate and cyclohexane.
It is capable of providing high viscosity, excellent thickening and suspending
performance with low-dosage. Its short flow (non-drip) properties are ideal for
applications such as clear gels, hydroalcoholic gels, creams. When neutralized
by alkali it forms sparkling clear water or hydroalcoholic gels and creams.

Formula Guidelines
1. Typical
recommended dosage at 0.2~1.0 wt %.
2. Todisperse NM-Carbomer940 completely, it should be slowly and carefully
sprinkled to dispersion medium while the mix is stirred rapidly to avoid
formation of lumps; extremely high shear rate mixer should be carefully
employed to avoid viscosity loss.
3. The
ideal viscosity can be achieved at pH ranges of 5.0~10.0 when neutralized; In a
hydoalcoholic system, a correct neutralizer must be chosen carefully based on
the amount of alcohol to be gelled.
After neutralization, high-shear and lasting stirring should be avoided
to keep stable thickening ability.
