Carbomer 980: Intelligent Rheological Control Master, Multiphase
System Stability Tool, Enabling Product Innovation Vitality
Product Introduction:
- Carbomer 980 is a crosslinked polyacrylic resin, chemically known
as crosslinked polyacrylic acid.
- The appearance is white loose powder, which is an important
polymer. With good rheological properties and a variety of
functions, it is widely used in personal care products,
pharmaceuticals and other fields of rheological modification
thickener.
- It is specially designed for thickening of surfactant systems. This
"easily dispersed" cross-linked polyacrylate copolymer is processed
in a cosolvent system with toxicological advantages, resulting in
excellent thickening efficiency, suspension capacity, long viscous
flow properties, and crystal transparency in the gel system.
Because of the low viscosity of the dispersion before
neutralization, it is designed to reduce the effect of caking on
the dispersion in water and to make it easier to pump and handle.
The role and efficacy of Carbomer:
1.Reduce the viscosity
- Carbomer have loose, and it is a very strong acidic substances,
water imbibition common when making suspected glue or protect skin
to taste, to be able to add the right amount of Korea's big aunt,
it can reduce the material thick, smooth and can keep their
characteristics, in today's industrial production production,
carbomer is the key to making skincare and doubt rubber raw
materials.
2.Anti-inflammatory and antibacterial
- Carbomer is also a pure natural medicinal value ingredient, which
can reduce inflammation and eliminate bacteria. Nowadays, carbomer
eye drops sold in the pharmaceutical market are made with it as the
key raw material for treatment. It has excellent clearing effect on
human eye inflammation, and can make patients' pain and redness of
eyes disappear quickly.
The quality of the product:
1. Physical properties
- Soluble in water, ethanol and glycerin and other solvents, with a
certain hydrophilic properties, the molecular structure of the acid
group, is weakly acidic, with short rheology, can provide high
viscosity under low dosage, the formation of a clear and
transparent gel.
2. Chemical properties
- Good stability, with excellent suspension stability and temperature
stability, not easily affected by external factors, in acidic or
alkaline environment can maintain chemical stability, relatively
friendly to the environment.
Common application cases of the product:
1. Cosmetics
- As a rheological modifier in skin care lotions, creams and
transparent gels, it provides thickening and suspension properties,
making the product more stable and delicate.
- In hair styling gels, shampoos, and body washes, it can increase
the consistency of the product, better fit the skin or hair, help
lock in moisture, make nutrients more easily absorbed, and
stabilize the many active ingredients in the formula.
2. The field of medicine
- Used as pharmaceutical excipients, such as making water alcohol
gel, moisturizing gel. To provide a stable release environment for
medicine, in transdermal preparations, to help the penetration and
absorption of medicine, but also by adjusting its chemical
structure and molecular weight to control the drug release rate and
duration, the medicine wrapped in the polymer, and through
progressive dissolution, diffusion or hydrolysis to release
medicine, improve drug efficacy and reduce toxic side effects.
3. Food industry
- As a food additive, it provides a stable thickening effect.
4. The petroleum industry
- As a thickening agent and stabilizer of drilling fluid, it can
effectively improve the viscosity and stability of drilling fluid,
prevent wall collapse, and ensure the smooth progress of drilling
operations.
Advice:
- Recommended usage is 0.2-1.5wt %, while stirring the polymer evenly
scattered in the medium, but to avoid agglomeration, fully stirred
to disperse, and to pH 7.0~10 polymer has ideal thickening
performance, after neutralization should avoid high-speed shear or
stirring to reduce viscosity loss.
Suggested applications:
- Transparent gel, water alcohol gel, surfactant system (special
shampoos, cleaning products, etc), a system with high electrolyte
content (Aloe vera gel),etc.
Using Tips:
- After carbomer completely dissolves water, it needs to add alkaline
substances to neutralize to achieve good results, such as
triethanolamine, sodium hydroxide and so on.
