NM –Carbomer 30
INCI
Name: Carbomer
NM-Carbomer
30 is a white powder, cross-linked homopolymer of polyacrylic acid that is
polymerized in a toxicologically preferred cosolvent system. It offers good
electrolyte tolerance, high thickening performance in a broad pH range, and a
rich, distinct sensory in challenging skin care formulations. NM-Carbomer 30
allows the formulator to achieve desired rheological and aesthetic properties
in the presence of electrolytes or acidic actives required for consumer
products. Its high electrolyte tolerance and broad pH compatibility make it
ideal for formulating products with botanical extracts or water-soluble salts,
as well as acidic ingredients such as alpha hydroxy acids, salicylic acid, or
organic acid preservatives.
NM-Carbomer 30 is the equivalent with Carbopol Ultrez 30 polymer.
Its property is similar to carbopol Ultrez 10 polymer, carbopol Ultrez 20 polymer.
Features and Benefits
l
Rapid wetting
properties
l
Electrolyte
tolerant at higher polymer levels, allowing for the creation of formulations
with pleasant aesthetics in systems containing electrolytes
l
Offers
a pleasant sensorial experience with its rich creamy sensory and high clarity
in gels
l
Offers
excellent rheology and suspension in challenging acidic or electrolyte
containing skin care systems
l
Thickens
efficiently at low levels (0.1-0.2 wt%) in electrolyte-free systems, making it
a good candidate for formulating simple chassis
l
Thickens
over a broad pH range (pH 4.0-12.0), enabling potential applications with
active ingredients at low or high pH
