Ccarbomer 970

  NM-Carbomer 970    

INCI Name: Carbomer  

Carbomer 970  is used as a high-efficient rheology modifier, capable of providing high viscosity, excellent clarity. When neutralized by alkali it forms sparkling clear water or hydroalcoholic gels and creams.   

Features and Benefits   

 1) High clarity 

 2)Short flow properties

 3)High viscosity  

Recommended Applications

 l Hand sanitizing gels

 l Hydroalcoholic gels

 l Hair styling gels

 l Moisturizing gels

 l Bath gels 

 l Hand, body and face lotions

 l Creams    

Formula Guidelines

 1)Typical recommended dosage at 0.2~1.0 wt %.

 2) To disperse Carbomer 970 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.  

 3) 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.   

4) After neutralization, high-shear and lasting stirring should be avoided to keep stable thickening ability.
