Message: | Carbomer is a white, loose powder with strong hygroscopicity, soluble in water, ethanol and glycerol. When we use Carbomer, we will put it into water or other polar solvents and dissolve it into carbomer gel. In this way, Carbomer is mainly used as thickening agent, suspending agent, adhesive, matrix of gel and slow and controlled release preparation of skeleton material. Commonly used concentration is 0.1% ~ 3%, at low dosage (0.25% ~ 0.5%), it can produce high efficiency thickening effect, thus preparing gel preparation with wide viscosity range and rheological property.
Gelatin has the characteristics of simple preparation, stable quality, strong adhesion and enhanced efficacy. Carbomer, as a new type of polymer material, has excellent quality in daily chemicals and pharmaceutical excipients, and is an ideal adjuvant for preparing gelatin. Carbomer has a strong hygroscopicity. Pay attention to the sealing during storage, and avoid moisture absorption and caking in exposed air. If there is slight caking, it can become loose powder by gently patting and pressing, and the thickening effect will not be affected. Once the product is used, it is best to put it in a sealed container with desiccant. |
