Carbomers are an important class of materials every formulator should get familiar with. They are high molecular weight crosslinked polymers of acrylic acid with molecular weights of up to 3 4 billion Daltons. Without the crosslinks, the polymer would be a collection of linear polymer chains, physically intertwined but not chemically bonded. Carbomers are polymerized in ethyl acetate, cyclohexane, and typically used crosslinking agents are Pentaerythritol Polyallylether and Polyallyl Sucrose.

Carbomer Advantages
Very efficient water thickening using <1% polymer (no electrolytes).
Can make aqueous or alcoholic clear gels.
Very efficient at suspending solids and stabilizing emulsions due to the high yield value of gels.
Can make emulsifier free oil in water crème gel formulations.
Can make stable water in oil in water emulsion.
Excellent skin feel (<.5%) and shear thinning rheology.

Carbomer Formulating Tips
Carbomers can easily be added to emulsions by addition to the oil phase prior to emulsification.
Easy to disperse powdered grades are preferred when dispersing directly into water.
Adding electrolyte or small amounts of acid to the water phase prior to Carbomer addition significantly improves its dispersion by reducing solution viscosity. Up to 5% dispersions of Carbomer in water can typically be made with this approach.
Use Triisopropanolamine (Dow Chemical) or Neutrol® TE (BASF) to neutralize Carbomer when gelling up to 90% ethanol.
Use granulated grades to reduce dusting issues during manufacturing.
Be very careful in qualifying new suppliers for an existing Carbomer. These rarely have the same performance characteristics.
Carbomers are more sensitive to shear after neutralization than before.
Carbomers are UV sensitive. You need to incorporate a UV absorber into gels when using clear packaging.

Apa itu Carbomer?

Carbomer adalah istilah yang digunakan untuk rangkaian polimer yang terbuat dari asid akrilik.
Carbomers adalah serbuk putih, lembut tetapi sering digunakan sebagai gel dalam kosmetik dan produk penjagaan
diri.
Carbomers terdapat dalam pelbagai jenis produk termasuk kulit, rambut, kuku, dan produk solek, serta gigi palsu.
