INCI Name & CAS No.
Carbomer 9003-01-4
Description
Carbomer 940 is a generic name for synthetic high molecular weight
polymers of acrylic acid used as thickening, dispersing, suspending
and emulsifying agents in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. They may
be homopolymers of acrylic acid, crosslinked with an allyl ether
pentaerythritol, allyl ether of sucrose or allyl ether of
propylene. Carbomers are found in the market as white and fluffy
powders. They have the ability to absorb, retain water and swell to
many times their original volume.

High-efficient thickening, suspending and stabilizing ability at
low dosage
Outstanding short flow (non-drip) property
High clarity
Resist temperature effect to viscosity
Applications
Carbomer 940 is used for topical formulations and suitable for
preparation of gels, creams and coupling agent. Carbomer and
cross-linked acrylic resin as well as series products of these
cross-linked polyacrylic acid are widely used at present and are
often used in topical lotion, cream and gel. In a neutral
environment, Carbomer system is an excellent gel matrix with
crystal appearance and nice sense of touch, so Carbomer is suitable
for preparation of cream or gel. Dosage recommended at 0.2-10%.
Cautions
Following operations are forbidden, otherwise result in loss of
thickening ability:
-- Lasting stir or high-shear stir after neutralization
-- Lasting UV irradiation
-- Combine with electrolytes
Storage & Handling
