Carbomer Model 941: A Mild Thickening Pioneer And Ion Tolerant Material With The Characteristics Of Solubility, Hygroscopicity And Safety

Product Introduction:

• As a polymer, carbomer has a high molecular weight. Its physical form usually appears as a white loose powder, and this powdery appearance makes it easy to handle in industrial production and laboratory preparation processes, and easy to mix with other ingredients.

• At the same time, it is also highly hygroscopic, which means that it is able to absorb water from the surrounding environment. This property also has a certain impact in the process of its dissolution and formation of gels.

• For example, after contact with water, carbomer molecules will absorb water and expand, and the molecular chain will gradually extend, resulting in a series of changes such as thickening.

Product features:
1. Appearance and form

• Carbomer is usually a white, loose powder. This powder state facilitates its dispersion and mixing in different formulations.

2. Solubility

• It has good solubility and can be dissolved in ethanol, water and glycerin.

• When dissolved in water, it gradually absorbs water and expands, forming a viscous solution.

• For example, when carbomer powder is added to water, the carboxylic acid groups on its molecular chain will interact with the water molecules, stretching the molecular chain and resulting in a thickening effect.

3. Moisture absorption

• It is extremely hygroscopic, which means it is able to absorb water from its surroundings.

• In the storage process, it is necessary to pay attention to maintain a dry environment to prevent it from caking due to moisture absorption, affecting its performance.

4. Viscosity characteristics

• An important physical property of carbomer is its ability to produce a high viscosity.

• It provides high viscosity at low dosages and can form a clear and transparent gel. This is because after the molecular chain is ionized by the neutralized carboxyl group, the molecular chain is dispersed and stretched, showing a great expansion state, and has viscosity.

5. Acidity and neutralization reaction

• The molecular structure contains 52%-68% carboxylic acid group, which is weakly acidic.

• When neutralized with an alkaline substance, the carboxyl group ionizes, which causes the state of the molecular chain to change, resulting in thickening and other effects.

6. Stability

• It has good chemical stability and can withstand the action of many chemical substances such as acid, alkali and solvent.

• Within a certain temperature range, such as under normal use and storage temperatures, it is not easy to melt or decompose.

7. Security

• Carbomer is relatively safe under normal conditions of use.

• In the field of medicine and cosmetics, after rigorous safety evaluation, it is less toxic and less irritating to human skin and mucous membranes.

• In the industrial production process, the impact on the environment is also relatively small, which is a relatively environmentally friendly polymer material.
