The product is an acrylic polymer with polyalkenyl ether crosslinks. It has strong hygroscopicity and certain acidity (because it contains carboxyl groups), and can be neutralized by alkaline substances to form a highly transparent gel. After the carbomer resin is neutralized to ionize the carboxyl group, due to the mutual repulsion of the negative charges, the molecular chain is diffused and stretched, showing a great expansion state and being viscous. Therefore, at a very low dosage, Carbo resin can produce high-efficiency thickening without being affected by temperature, and can make some insoluble additives (particles, oil droplets, etc.) permanently suspended.
Advantages:
Suspends and stabilizes insoluble substances and particulates
Appearance: loose white, slightly acidic powder
Exfoliating Exfoliating Gel
Lotions, Creams for Hand, Body and Face
The recommended dosage is 0.2~1.5 wt%
Neutralize until the pH is 7.0~10. The polymer has ideal thickening performance. After neutralization, high-speed shearing or stirring should be avoided to reduce viscosity loss.
Prolonged agitation or high shear agitation can cause viscosity loss after carbomer neutralization
