According to the degree of cross-linking and molecular weight, carbomer has different types of products, including traditional series such as CARBOMER 934, CARBOMER 934P, CARBOMER 940, CARBOMER 941, CARBOMER 980, and new polymers such as CARBOMER U 20/21. Different types of carbomer have different uses in various industries due to their different properties such as suspension stability and fluidity change.
Carbomer resin is widely used in the fields of medicine and cosmetics. Only a small amount of carbomer resin is needed to achieve the required viscosity. The conventional dosage is 0.10%, 0.2%, and 0.50%, and it has thickening and stabilizing effects, thereby preparing emulsions, creams and gel products with a wide range of viscosities and different rheological properties.
Carbomer resin is used for liquid thickening and is increasingly used in cleansing cosmetics. It has the following advantages:
It does not irritate human skin and eyes. A large number of toxicological studies have found that it is safer than salt.
Make the shampoo have efficient and lasting suspension stability. Acrylic acid/C10-30 alkyl acrylate cross-linked polymer can improve the suspension of silicone oil.
Improve the foam stability in low-foaming systems.
It has salt resistance. Acrylate/C10-30 alkyl acrylate cross-linked copolymer can still maintain a high viscosity in the system with salt, and is less affected by the pH value or electrolyte concentration of the solution, and has a wide range of applications.
It is easy to use, has a short wetting time, good anti-corrosion performance, is not easily decomposed by microorganisms, and is easy to store.
It has excellent rheological properties, can adjust the viscosity of the product, improve the thixotropic properties of the gel system, and improve the stability of the product.
