Carbomer Powder

Carbomer, a component derived from natural synthetic resins, is an acrylic crosslinked resin obtained by crosslinking pentaerythritol and other compounds with acrylic acid. As a type of acrylic resin, carbomer not only has excellent rheological adjustment ability, but also serves as an efficient thickener, suspension agent, and adhesive. The different models of Carbomel and their specific uses in various fields include Carbomer934/ 940/980 etc

Each model of Carbomer has specific properties,modelCarbomer934/ 940/980

This model is distinguished based on its viscosity.

Carbomer940

Appearance is White powder, loose. Acidic, hygroscopic, and slightly odorous, soluble in water, ethanol, and glycerol.The commonly used concentration is 0.1% to 3.0%. Due to the presence of a large number of carboxyl groups in its molecules, special attention should be paid to neutralizing the aqueous solution with alkali before use to reduce irritation to the skin and mucous membranes.

The degree of molecular expansion, PH value and electrolyte concentration will affect the viscosity of Carbomer 940. The neutralized Carbomer hydrogel. The viscosity is highest between pH 6 and 11, and decreases if pH<3 or pH>12. The presence of strong electrolytes can also reduce viscosity.

Carbomer980

Carbomer 980 is a white, loose powder with a slight odor. It is dispersed in 1% water at a pH of 3. When dissolved in water, alcohol, or glycerol, it can be neutralized with alkaline solutions of hydroxides or amines

1.Carbomer forms transparent or semi-transparent gels through neutralization (such as triethanolamine). It can be used as a gel carrier to enhance the fit. Commonly used skin care products include sleeping masks, cold masks, and roller eye creams. The product model used is Carbomer 940

2.Carbomer 934 is used in lotions or creams to increase viscosity and can be mixed with ceramide and squalane to make moisturizing creams.

3.Carbomer 980, with its high transparency, low irritation and mild thickening ability, has gradually become the preferred raw material for high-end formula design in hair care products and is often used in transparent hair care essences, leave-in hair care products, conditioners and other products. For instance, when mixed formula with panthenol and hydrolyzed keratin , it can be made into a leave-in hair spray, which is highly accepted in the market.

1.Anti-static and moisturizing

Carbomer is used as an anti-static and moisturizing agent in the cosmetics industry, and the two complement each other

Carbopol can effectively reduce the accumulation of static electricity on the surface of the skin, maintain skin moisture, and make the skin softer and smoother. At the same time, Carbomer can effectively reduce the discomfort caused by irritation to human skin and prevent the occurrence of skin allergy symptoms.

In addition, the proline component in Carbomercan enhance keratin function, giving the skin its own moisturizing ability, slowing down the skin's glycation reaction, effectively protecting collagen and elastin fibers, and maintaining skin elasticity and firmness.

2.Thickener and stabilizer

Carbopol 940 has the characteristics of extremely short fluidity, high viscosity, high transparency, and low ion resistance, making it a commonly used thickener and stabilizer in cosmetics and personal care products.

For example, in lotion and creams, Carbopol 940 can provide stability of oil in water emulsion system, making the product texture more delicate and easy to apply.
