Carbomer 940 is a high-efficiency synthetic polymer widely used as a thickening, gelling and viscosity-modifying agent in cosmetic and personal care formulations. It produces clear, smooth and highly viscous gels at relatively low concentrations and helps improve the consistency, stability and sensory properties of formulations.

Benefits

  • Provides excellent thickening and gelling properties.
  • Produces smooth, clear and elegant gels.
  • Effective at low usage levels.
  • Helps suspend and stabilize ingredients within formulations.
  • Improves the consistency and spreadability of creams, gels and lotions.
  • Compatible with a wide range of cosmetic formulations when properly neutralized.
  • Particularly useful where a high-viscosity gel with good clarity is desired.

Uses
Carbomer 940 is commonly used in:

  • Cosmetic and personal care gels
  • Face and body gels
  • Serums
  • Creams and lotions
  • Hand sanitizing gels
  • Hair styling products
  • Cleansing and wash-off formulations
  • Moisturizing formulations
  • Pharmaceutical and topical gel formulations

Solubility
Carbomer 940 is dispersible in water and forms a low-viscosity acidic dispersion before neutralization. Upon neutralization, it swells and develops its characteristic high viscosity, forming a clear or translucent gel. It should be dispersed gradually to avoid clumping.

Usage Considerations:
Typical Usage:
0.1–1.0%
Commonly, 0.2–0.5% is sufficient for many gels, creams and lotions.

Carbopol should be used in appropriate concentrations to achieve the desired viscosity and stability in formulations. Proper neutralization is required to activate its gelling properties. Conducting compatibility tests before use is recommended.

How to Use:
Disperse Carbopol slowly into water with gentle mixing and allow it to hydrate completely. Neutralize with a suitable neutralizer such as NaOH, KOH, AMP or TEA to develop the desired viscosity. Add slowly while monitoring pH and viscosity.

Storage
Store in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight, heat and moisture. Keep the container tightly closed when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to humidity, as the powder can absorb moisture and may become difficult to disperse.
