carbopol 940 cosmetic grade carbomer 940 powder
Products Description
Carbomer 940 Powder by Dev International is a cross-linked polyacrylic acid. It acts as a rheology modifier with high viscosity. It is used to create sparkling clear water and hydro-alcoholic gels & creams. It is the most efficient thickener among all the carbomer grades. It possesses an extremely short flow, high clarity and high suspension ability. Carbomer 940 Powder is used in shampoos, hair styling gels, bath gels, shaving gels, sunscreen lotions and moisturizing products. It is also suitable for hand, body & face lotions, toothpaste and after-shave lotions. It confirms USP and NF specifications.
Carbomer 940 is a polyvinyl carboxy polymer used to improve viscosity or as a suspension or gelling agent in cosmetic formulations. Carbomer 940 is cross-linked with pentaerythritol’s ethers and proves to be an effective cosmetic ingredient for systems where high viscosity or clarity is required.
Carbomer 940 Powder provides excellent softening and gelling properties to formulas that can be used to enhance the gliding properties of cosmetic applications. Moreover, you can also use Carbomer 940 due to its thicken solutions, and you may also suspend heavy solids in liquid mediums by using it.
Carbomer 940 is available in the form of white powder that comprises fine particles and has a typical odor. Also, it can be dissolved in water, and its pH level ranges from 2.7 to 3.3. The recommended level of concentration should be 0.5%, and you can add Carbomer 940 at a temperature of 25-degree Celsius. The viscosity of Carbomer-940 powder ranges from 45000 to 70000 cps when 0.5% is used in solutions.

Benefits
- Controls Viscosity
Fluffy powdered form of Carbomer 940 Polymer enables you to control the thickness or consistency of cosmetic products. You may also improve the flow of skincare and cosmetic products by introducing it as one of the base ingredients.
- Enhances Transparency
Manufacturers of hair gels, face washes, lotions, and ointments that have a certain degree of transparency in their appearance need to include Carbomer 940 as one of the main components. It helps to provide a clear gel-like appearance to these products.
- Improves Visual Appearance
Carbomer Polymer can absorb water easily. It also retains water and swells up to 1000 times compared to its original value when water is added. By doing so, improves the volume and adds a rich and smooth appearance to the cosmetics.
- Easy Suspension
Carbomer 940 Powder is important to add while adding solid components in the formula. It is because it helps to suspend solids in aqueous solutions. Makers of skincare, haircare, and cosmetic applications prefer it as a suspension agent.
- Stabilise Emulsions
Carbomer 940 acts as a stabilising agent in cosmetic and makeup products. It helps to distribute the ingredients evenly in the emulsions and also prevents oil and water from separating. Therefore, it is preferably used in hand washes and hand sanitisers.
- Balance PH Level
Carbomer 940 enables other ingredients of the formula to blend nicely. It contributes towards the efficiency of the products. It is beneficial for improving the pH of face creams and lotions. Also, it is added as a rheology modifier as well.
Use
The concentration level should range between 0.1 and 0.5% depending on the kind of consistency or viscosity that is desired in the final product. However, they must be mixed nicely and hydrated to make them effective in formulas. If the pH level of Carbomer-940 powder is increased above 6, Carbomer 940 Powder offers a gel-like appearance to the solution. Inorganic bases such as TEA, KOH, NaOH, etc., can be used to neutralize it while using it in different solutions.
Applications
Gel-creams, hair gels, and other gels, lotions, creams.
