Carbomer

Listing ID #1070831

we are offering carbomers are thickening agents that help control the viscosity and flow of cosmetic products. They also help distribute and suspend insoluble solids into liquid, and prevent the oil and liquid parts of a solution from separating. They have the ability to absorb and retain water, and can swell up to 1000 times their original volume when dispersed in water. Generally, this class of ingredients is used in gel-like formulations because it forms a colloidal, mucilage-like consistency when mixed in water. On a cosmetic ingredient list, the name carbomer is sometimes associated with a number such as 910, 934, 940, 941 and 934p. These numbers simply represent the specific molecular weight and compositions of the polymer.
