NM-Carbomer 941

NM-Carbomer 941

INCI Name: Carbomer

Features and Benefits  

• Outstanding long flow property
• Highly efficient at moderate and low concentration.
• High clarity

Recommended Applications

• Topical lotions, creams and gels
• Clear gels
• Moderately ionic systems

Formula Guidelines

• Typical recommended dosage at 0.2~1.5%.
• To disperse NM-Carbomer941 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.
