NM-Carbomer 674
INCI Name: Carbomer
NM-Carbomer
674 is a cross-linked polyacrylate polymer with outstanding long-flow property
in mucilage. It performs well in challenging formulation environments at low
and high pH. It is recommended for use in all-purpose cleaners, surface
cleaners, multi-purpose cleaners, drain openers, and fabric pretreatment
systems.
Features
and Benefits
>> Outstanding long flow property
>> High clarity
>> Excellent freeze-thaw and high
temperature stability at low concentrations in oil-in-water emulsions
>> Excellent stability in
oxidizing systems such as those containing chlorine bleach or peroxides
>> Imparts instant thickening
upon neutralization to form high clarity gels
>> Offers stability in suitable
electrolyte systems
>> Provides shear-thinning
rheology to enable easy pumping and dispensing of finished products via trigger
sprayers
>> Provides yield value to allow
for the suspension of a wide variety of insoluble materials or particles
Recommended
Applications
>> Surface Care: Kitchen and Oven
Cleaners, Multipurpose, Scouring Creams
Formula Guidelines
>> Typical recommended dosage at 0.2~1.5%.
>> To disperse NM-Carbomer 674 completely,
it should be slowly and carefully sifted 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.
>> The ideal viscosity can be
achieved at pH ranges of 5.0~10.0; To achieve maximum thickening,
NM-Carbomer941 should be 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.
