NM –Carbomer 10 self-wetting hydrophobically modified cross-linked acrylate copolymer
INCI
Name: Carbomer
NM–Carbomer
10 is a white powder, crosslinked polyacrylic acid that is polymerized in a
toxicologically-preferred cosolvent system. Its self-wetting properties and low
dusting make it extremely easy to use for efficient processing. It is an
extremely efficient rheology modifier capable of providing high viscosity and
forms sparkling clear gels or hydro-alcoholic gels and creams. Its short flow,
non-drip properties are ideal for applications such as clear gels,
hydroalcholic gels, creams, and lotions.
