Carbomer 990 is a cross-linked polyacrylate polymer, polymerized in co-solvent system of ethyl acetate and cyclohexane. It is capable of providing 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

- Short flow properties

- High viscosity

- High suspending, thickening and stabilizing ability

- High clarity

Recommended Applications

- Hair styling gels & Moisturizing gels

- Bath gels

- Hand, body and face lotions

- Creams

Formula Guidelines

- Typical recommended dosage at 0.2~1.0 wt %.

- To disperse Carbomer940 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 hydoalcoholic 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.
