inci name:carbomer
trade name: repoly 140/180/196
cas no.:76050-42-5
general descreption:
carbomer is a crosslinked polyacylate polymer with strong moisturizing ability, acting as high-efficient & low-dosage thickener and suspending agent. it can be neutralized by alkali to form clear gel. once its carboxyl group is neutralized, molecule chain expands extremely and
viscidity comes up, due to mutually exclusion of negative charge. it can enhance yield value and rheology of liquid substances, thus it is easy to get insoluble ingredients (granual, oil drop) suspended at low dosage. it is widely used in o/w lotion and cream as favorable suspending agent.
benefits:
1、high-efficient thickening, suspending and stabilizing ability at low dosage
2、outstanding short flow (non-drip) property
3、high clarity
4、resist temperature effect to viscosity
end application:
1、clear hydroalcoholic gel .
2、lotion and cream
3、hair styling gel
4、shampoo
5、body wash
cautions
following operations are forbidden, otherwise result in loss of thickening ability:
-- lasting stir or high-shear stir after neutralization
-- lasting uv irradiation
-- combine with electrolytes
shelf life: 24 months
