Carbopol, also known as Capo resin, is a polymer formed by chemical crosslinking of acrylic acid or acrylic ester with allyl ether. Simply put, it is an organic compound. It has functions such as thickening, suspension, stabilizing systems, regulating water and active substance release, and has a simple process and good stability. Therefore, it is widely used in various industries such as coatings, textiles, pharmaceuticals, construction, detergents, and cosmetics.

1、 Thickening effect

Carbomer 980 can produce high efficiency thickening effect at low dosage (usually 0.25% -0.5%), which can achieve high efficiency thickening for various water-based systems (such as skin care gel, care lotion, moisturizing cream, etc.) and quickly adjust the system to the target viscosity. With this advantage, it can flexibly adapt to the preparation requirements of products with different rheological properties, and is widely used in the production of moisturizing gel, bath gel and other daily chemical products.

2、 Suspension stability

Carbopol 980 has excellent suspension stability performance, which can effectively encapsulate and suspend insoluble particles or functional ingredients in the formula, suppress problems such as precipitation and layering during storage or use, and effectively ensure the overall uniformity and physical stability of the product. Therefore, it is widely used in various product formulas containing active ingredients such as powders and essential oils.

3、 Transparency improvement

Carbopol 980 has excellent high transparency properties, and after testing, its 0.5% concentration aqueous solution has a relatively high transmittance. Based on this characteristic, the raw material can be used to prepare clear and transparent gel, lotion or liquid products, especially in cosmetics and pharmaceutical preparations that have strict requirements on appearance transparency.

4、 Rheological regulation

Carbopol 980 is a typical short flow variant of carbopol, with excellent properties of rapid viscosity recovery after shearing. This feature can provide terminal products with a good tactile sensation and smooth application performance, such as a smooth texture when in contact with the skin, the elastic texture of the product itself, etc. Therefore, it is particularly suitable for various formula products that have specific texture requirements for the user experience.
