NM-Carbomer 940
INCI Name: Carbomer
NM-Carbomer 940 is a
cross-linked polyacrylate polymer used in personal care gels and creamsas ahigh-efficient rheology
modifier. 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-Carbomer 940 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.
4.After
neutralization, high-shear and lasting stirring should be avoided to keep
stable thickening ability.
