NM-Carbomer 960
INCI Name: Carbomer
NM-Carbomer 960 is a
cross-linked polyacrylate polymer used in personal care gels and creams as ahigh-efficient rheology
modifier. It can provide 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.

Formula Guidelines
1) Typical
recommended dosage at 0.2~1.0 wt %.
2) To disperse NM-Carbomer960 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.
3) The
ideal viscosity can be achieved at pH ranges of 5.0~10.0 when neutralized; In a
hydroalcoholic 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.
