Carbomer 1342/NM
–Carbomer 1342
INCI Name:Acrylates/C10-30
Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer
Carbomer 1342/NM-Carbomer1342 is a hydrophobically modified cross-linked
acrylate copolymer. It has long viscous flow property, imparts excellent
thickening and suspending capability especially in surfactant systems and forms
sparkling clarity gels. This property makes the product uniquely suitable for
aqueous solutions or dispersions containing dissolved salts. In addition, it
has improved compatibility in thickening and imparting yield value to ionic
surfactants.
Recommended
Applications
l Clear gels & Hydro-alcoholic
gels
l Shampoos and cleaning products
l
High
electrolyte system (Aloe gels, etc.)
Formula Guidelines
l Typical use 0.2 to 1.5 wt%.
l In systems with high concentration of
surfactants, neutralization is preferred to be carried out before addition of
surfactants. Otherwise the high concentration of surfactants especially catatonics
and secondary surfactants would prevent the uncoiling of the polymer, affecting
the viscosity, yield value and clarity of the end product.
