NM-Carbomer 960
INCI Name: Carbomer
NM-Carbomer 960 is a cross-linked polyacrylate polymer used in personal care gels and creams as a
high-efficient rheology modifier. It can provide high viscosity, excellent thickening and suspending
performance with low-dosage. Its short flow (non-drip) properties are ideal for applications such as clear
gels, hydroalcoholic gels, creams. When neutralized by alkali it forms sparkling clear water or
hydroalcoholic gels and creams.
Features and Benefits

Bath gels
Hand, body and face lotions
Creams
Formula Guidelines
Typical recommended dosage at 0.2~1.0 wt %.
To disperse NM-Carbomer960 completely, it should be slowly and carefully sprinkled 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 when neutralized; In a hydroalcoholic
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.
