CARBOMER 980
Carbomer 980
Carbomer 980 is a cross-linked polyacrylate polymer made from ethyl acetate and cyclohexane polymerization in a co-solvent system.
Carbomer 980 can provide high viscosity, excellent thickening, and suspending performance to cosmetic and pharmaceutical products.
Carbomer 980 has a short flow and non-drip property that is very important in applications, including using the material as clear gels, hydroalcoholic gels, and creams.
Cosmetic formulators can neutralize this substance using alkali, which leads to the formation of sparkling clear water or hydroalcoholic gels and creams.
SYNONYMS
Carbopol 980 NF; Acrylic Polymer; Unipol 980 N; Acrylic Acid Resin; 2-Propenic Acid Homopolymer; Acrylic Acid Polymer
Carbomer 980 is an Industry-standard rheology modifier with short flow and high viscosity performance for hair and skincare products.
Carbomer 980 polymer is a white powder, crosslinked polyacrylic acid polymerized in a toxicologically-preferred cosolvent system.
Carbomer 980 is a highly efficient rheology modifier capable of providing high viscosity and forms sparkling clear gels or hydro-alcoholic gels and creams.
Carbomer 980 polymer is a white powder, crosslinked polyacrylic acid polymerized in a toxicologically-preferred cosolvent system.
Carbomer 980 is a crosslinked polyacrylate polymer with an intense moisturizing ability, acting as a highly efficient & low-dosage thickener and suspending agent.
Carbomer 980 can be neutralized by alkali to form a clear gel.
Once its carboxyl group is neutralized, the molecule chain expands incredibly, and viscidity comes up due to the mutual exclusion of negative charge.
Carbomer 980 can enhance yield value and rheology of liquid substances;
Thus, Carbomer 980 can quickly get insoluble ingredients (granular, oil drop) suspended at low dosages.
Carbomer 980 is widely used in O/W lotion and cream as a favorable suspending agent.

DOSAGE
0.2-1.0%
Utilized in pharmaceutical products as rheology modifiers, tablet binders, suspension stabilizers, extended-release polymers, mucoadhesive aids, and bioavailability enhancers, Carbomer polymers are well known for their versatility and ease of use as pharmaceutical excipients.
Products within the Carbomer polymer family are chemically similar: they are all high molecular weight, crosslinked polyacrylic acid polymers.
However, these gel-forming polymers differ by their chemical crosslinking and can be grouped into the following categories.
Carbomer homopolymers: acrylic acid crosslinked with allyl sucrose or allyl pentaerythritol
Carbomer copolymers: acrylic acid and C10-C30 alkyl acrylate crosslinked with allyl pentaerythritol
Carbomer interpolymers: carbomer homopolymer or copolymer that contains a block copolymer of polyethylene glycol and a long chain alkyl acid ester
