Ingredient profile

A versatile rheology modifier for modern formulations

Carbomer is mainly composed of acrylic acid and sucrose or pentaerythritol allyl ether crosslinked to form a three-dimensional network structure polymer. This structure gives Carbomer its characteristic rheological properties.

Different rheology properties make formulations more diverse. The source sheet lists Carbomer for lotions, gels, creams, shampoos and shower gels, as well as household care and industrial products.

Selection note: the supplied PDF text extraction may not preserve the original table alignment. Confirm the final correspondence, viscosity data and regulatory status using the applicable technical data sheet before making commercial claims.

Product performance

Performance dimensions to evaluate during sampling

All listed grades are described in the source sheet as white powder. The sheet also compares flow behavior, relative viscosity, luminousness, ion resistance and shear resistance. Use the current technical data sheet for exact test methods and values.

Appearance

White powder

The supplied performance table lists white powder appearance for the Carbomer grades shown.

Rheology

Flow and viscosity

Short-flow and long-flow behavior, together with relative viscosity, are selection dimensions shown in the source material.

Compatibility

Ion and shear resistance

Evaluate electrolyte tolerance and shear sensitivity in the final formulation, especially after neutralization and during processing.

Application scenes

Help buyers visualize Carbomer in finished formulations

Use real application images to connect the ingredient with the buyer's product development process.

Prescription recommendation

Transparent gel base formula

The source sheet provides the following example formula. It is an application starting point, not a universal finished-product formula.

  • Glycerinum53.4 g
  • Triethanolamine1.1 g
AMULYN Carbomer transparent gel base formulation recommendation

Preparation steps

Build the gel base in three controlled steps

Follow the source sheet's sequence and validate mixing, neutralization and viscosity in your own process conditions.

Disperse and expand

Dissolve Carbomer powder in water and allow it to fully dissolve and expand.

Add glycerin

Add glycerin and stir well to achieve a uniform mixture.

Neutralize

Add triethanolamine to obtain the transparent gel base agent.

Source note: this base agent is a transparent gel-forming agent. Appropriate antibacterial agents may be added for preservation according to the intended product and applicable requirements.

Processing notes

Protect viscosity through processing and storage

After neutralization

Persistent agitation or high-shear agitation after neutralization may cause viscosity loss.

Electrolytes

The presence of electrolytes may reduce the thickening efficiency of Carbomer.

Ultraviolet exposure

Long-term ultraviolet irradiation may reduce the viscosity of Carbomer.

Packaging and storage

Bulk ingredient information for B2B purchasing

Packing

20 kg / box

Packaging information stated in the supplied product sheet.

Storage

Cool and ventilated place

Keep the product in a cool and ventilated storage environment as stated in the source sheet.

Validity

24 months

Validity period stated in the supplied product sheet. Confirm the batch-specific documentation before use.

FAQ

Common questions from formulation buyers

What is Carbomer used for?

Carbomer is a high-performance polymer and rheology modifier used for thickening and suspending in personal care, household care and industrial formulations. The source sheet lists gels, lotions, creams, shampoos, shower gels, detergents and cleaners among the application directions.

Which Carbomer grade should I select?

Selection depends on flow behavior, viscosity, clarity, electrolyte tolerance, suspending performance, formulation type and sensory target. Confirm the current technical data sheet before final selection.

How is the transparent gel base prepared?

Dissolve and fully expand Carbomer in water, add glycerin and mix well, then add triethanolamine to obtain a transparent gel base.

What should be considered during processing?

Persistent or high-shear agitation after neutralization may cause viscosity loss. Electrolytes may reduce thickening efficiency, and long-term ultraviolet irradiation may reduce viscosity.

What are the packaging and storage conditions?

The source sheet lists 20 kg per box, storage in a cool and ventilated place, and a validity period of 24 months.
