NM-Carbomer 2020

 NM –Carbomer 2020 

INCI Name: Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer 

NM-Carbomer2020 is a cross-linked polyacrylic acid copolymer. It has long viscous flow property, imparts excellent thickening and suspending capability especially in surfactant systems and hydro-alcoholic system, forms sparkling clarity gels. This property makes the product uniquely suitable for sanitizing gels. hydroalcoholic gel, antibacterial gel hand, hand gel sanitizer, sanitizer gel with alcohol. Even at high concentration, NM-Carbomer2020 maintains excellent clarity. Also, NM-Carbomer2020 is easy to disperse due to its low dispersion viscosity before neutralization.  

 Features and Benefits   

 Easy to disperse    

Suitable for surfactant system and high electrolyte rate system  

Excellent performance of stabilizing and suspending insoluble ingredients

Outstanding clarity.  

Recommended Applications

hydroalcoholic gel

antibacterial gel hand

hand gel sanitizer

 sanitizer gel with alcohol

 Shampoos and cleaning products

 High electrolyte system (Aloe gels, etc.)   

Formula Guidelines

Typical use 0.2 to 1.5 wt%.

 Dispersions made with NM-Carbomer2020 may appear to be non-uniform, with visible aggregate particles which may settle into a separate phase when not mixed. In order to achieve a homogeneous dispersion without phase separation, it is recommended to prepare with dispersion with a minimum polymer concentration of 2% by weight.

In systems with high concentration of surfactants, neutralization is preferred to be carried out before addition of surfactants. Otherwise the high concentration of surfactants especially catatonics and secondary surfactants would prevent the uncoiling of the polymer, affecting the viscosity, yield value and clarity of the end product.
