Carbomer 940 Gelling Agent

Carbomer 940 is a high-performance, versatile gelling agent widely used in the personal care, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. It is a white, free-flowing powder that, when hydrated, forms clear, smooth, and stable gels. This highly efficient polymer is ideal for thickening, emulsifying, and stabilizing formulations while providing excellent sensory properties.

Key Features:

• High Viscosity and Thickening Power: Carbomer 940 excels in creating gels and increasing the viscosity of liquid formulations, even in low concentrations.
• Clear, Transparent Gels: It forms clear, non-tacky gels that are ideal for skincare, haircare, and pharmaceutical products.
• pH Stability: The gel strength remains stable across a wide pH range, making it suitable for a variety of formulations.
• Effective Emulsification: Carbomer 940 helps to stabilize emulsions, ensuring uniform consistency and preventing separation of ingredients.
• Excellent Suspension Properties: It can suspend active ingredients and particles effectively, ensuring consistent performance.
• Easy to Use: It disperses easily in water and requires neutralization with a suitable base (e.g., triethanolamine) to activate its thickening properties.

Applications:

• Personal Care Products: Ideal for use in facial gels, moisturizers, serums, shampoos, conditioners, body lotions, and sunscreens.
• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Used in topical gels, creams, and ointments for its gelling, stabilizing, and thickening properties.
• Cosmetic Formulations: Enhances the texture and consistency of creams, lotions, and other beauty products.

Benefits:

• Enhanced Texture: Carbomer 940 provides a silky smooth texture and a non-greasy feel to products.
• Improved Stability: Formulations made with Carbomer 940 offer longer shelf life and better performance, even in challenging conditions.
• Safety and Compatibility: Carbomer 940 is dermatologically tested and safe for skin contact, making it ideal for sensitive skin products.
