Carbomer

Carbomer is a series of synthetic high-molecular-weight polymers made primarily from acrylic acid. These white, fluffy powders are well-known for their excellent thickening, suspending, and emulsifying properties. When dispersed in water and neutralized, carbomers form a clear gel-like substance that is widely used in a variety of formulations.

 Carbomers are prized for their ability to control the viscosity and flow of cosmetic and pharmaceutical products. Their high efficiency at low concentrations makes them ideal for enhancing product texture, stability, and sensory appeal.

Applications of Carbomer:

Carbomer polymers are highly versatile and are used across multiple industries. Key application areas include:

Cosmetics and Personal Care

• Facial Creams & Lotions: Provides smooth, rich textures and stabilizes emulsions.

• Hair Styling Gels: Delivers a firm hold and clarity in gel formulations.

• Sunscreens & Serums: Enhances spreadability and sensory feel.

• Cleansers & Body Washes: Helps suspend active ingredients and ensures even distribution.Pharmaceuticals

• Topical Gels: Used in drug delivery for their non-irritating and stable gel base.

• Ophthalmic Products: Provides viscosity for eye drops, improving retention time on the eye surface.

• Controlled Release Formulations: Enables gradual and targeted release of active ingredients.

  Household & Industrial Products

• Hand Sanitizers: Essential for thickening alcohol-based gels while maintaining transparency.

• Detergents & Cleaners: Stabilizes and suspends insoluble ingredients in cleaning formulations.

Medical and Veterinary Uses

• Wound Care Gels: Promote healing and moisture retention.

• Animal Care Products: Delivers easy-to-apply, stable formulations for topical application.

• High Efficiency: Thickens at low dosages, saving cost and enhancing performance.

• Stable: Compatible with a wide pH range and stable across varying temperatures.

• Clear and Aesthetic: Ideal for transparent gel formulations with high visual appeal.

• Safe: Non-toxic, non-sensitizing, and widely approved for use in regulated industries
