- Carbomer 980 has the ability to absorb and retain water, and can swell up to 1000 times its original volume when dispersed in water.
- Carbomer 980 polymer is a white powder, crosslinked polyacrylic acid that is polymerized in a toxicologically-preferred cosolvent system. It is an extremely efficient rheology modifier capable of providing high viscosity and forms sparkling clear gels or hydro-alcoholic gels and creams. Its short flow, non-drip properties are ideal for applications such as clear gels, hydroalcholic gels, creams, and lotions.
- The 980 represents the specific molecular weight and composition of the polymer. Carbomer 980 polymer is a thickening agent that helps control the viscosity and rhealogy of cosmetic products. It also helps distribute and suspend insoluble solids into liquid, and prevent the oil and liquid parts of a solution from separating.
- Applications: Anti-aging Products, Body Lotions/Creams/Gels, Conditioners, Facial Care Products, Hand Sanitizer, Shampoo, Styling Products, Primary Functions, Rheology Modifier, Suspending Agent, Thickener
