NM-Carbomer 970
NM–Carbomer 970
NM –Carbomer 970 is a cross-linked polyacrylate polymer, polymerized in co-solvent system of ethyl
acetate and cyclohexane. It can provide high viscosity, excellent thickening and suspending performance
with low-dosage. Its short flow (non-drip) properties are ideal for applications such as clear gels,
hydroalcoholic gels, hand sanitizing gels, creams. When neutralized by alkali it forms sparkling clear water
or hydroalcoholic gels and creams.

Hand, body and face lotions
Creams
Formula Guidelines
Typical recommended dosage at 0.2~1.0 wt %.
To disperse NM-Carbomer 970 completely, it should be slowly and carefully sprinkled to dispersion
medium while the mix is stirred rapidly to avoid formation of lumps; extremely high shear rate mixer
should be carefully employed to avoid viscosity loss.
The ideal viscosity can be achieved at pH ranges of 5.0~10.0 when neutralized; In a hydroalcoholic
system, a correct neutralizer must be chosen carefully based on the amount of alcohol to be gelled.
After neutralization, high-shear and lasting stirring should be avoided to keep stable thickening ability.
