NM-Carbomer 2020
NM –Carbomer 2020
INCI Name: Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer
NM-Carbomer2020 is a cross-linked polyacrylic acid copolymer. It has long viscous flow property, imparts excellent thickening and suspending capability especially in surfactant systems and hydro-alcoholic system, forms sparkling clarity gels. This property makes the product uniquely suitable for sanitizing gels. hydroalcoholic gel, antibacterial gel hand, hand gel sanitizer, sanitizer gel with alcohol. Even at high concentration, NM-Carbomer2020 maintains excellent clarity. Also, NM-Carbomer2020 is easy to disperse due to its low dispersion viscosity before neutralization.
Features and Benefits
Easy to disperse
Suitable for surfactant system and high electrolyte rate system
Excellent performance of stabilizing and suspending insoluble ingredients
Outstanding clarity.
Recommended Applications
hydroalcoholic gel
antibacterial gel hand
hand gel sanitizer
sanitizer gel with alcohol
Shampoos and cleaning products
High electrolyte system (Aloe gels, etc.)
Formula Guidelines
Typical use 0.2 to 1.5 wt%.
Dispersions made with NM-Carbomer2020 may appear to be non-uniform, with visible aggregate particles which may settle into a separate phase when not mixed. In order to achieve a homogeneous dispersion without phase separation, it is recommended to prepare with dispersion with a minimum polymer concentration of 2% by weight.
In systems with high concentration of surfactants, neutralization is preferred to be carried out before addition of surfactants. Otherwise the high concentration of surfactants especially catatonics and secondary surfactants would prevent the uncoiling of the polymer, affecting the viscosity, yield value and clarity of the end product.
