NM-Carbomer 970HC
INCI Name: Carbomer
NM-Carbomer 970HC is a cross-linked polyacrylate polymer. HC means very High Clarity. It is used as a
high-efficient rheology modifier, capable of providing high viscosity, excellent clarity. When neutralized by
alkali it forms sparkling clear water or hydroalcoholic gels and creams.
Features and Benefits
High clarity
Short flow properties
High viscosity
Recommended Applications
Hand sanitizing gels
Hydroalcoholic gels
Hair styling gels
Moisturizing gels
Bath gels
Hand, body and face lotions
Creams
Formula Guidelines
Typical recommended dosage at 0.2~1.0 wt %.
To disperse NM-Carbomer970HC 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.
