Message: | Carbomer English name: Carbomer, white powder in appearance, good water solubility, mostly used in the daily chemical industry. Carbomer is a high molecular polymer of acrylic acid-bonded allyl sucrose or pentaerythritol allyl ether. It is an acrylic cross-linked resin obtained by cross-linking pentaerythritol and acrylic acid. It is a particularly important rheology modifier. Carbomer after neutralization is a good gel matrix, which has important purposes of thickening and suspending. Because of its simple operation and good stability, it is widely used in daily chemical products.
Carbomer 940 and Carbomer 941 are more commonly used in daily chemical products. What is the difference between these two carbomers?
Carbomer 940: short rheology, high viscosity, high clarity, low ion resistance and shear resistance, mostly used in gels and creams.
Carbomer 941: Long rheology, low viscosity, high clarity, moderate ion resistance and shear resistance, mostly used in gels and emulsions.
Carbomer 940 and Carbomer 941 have different rheology, viscosity and ion resistance, and these factors affect the shape and viscosity of the finished product after processing. There is not much difference in overall usage, so many people will confuse them. And in the current market, there are still some merchants using Carbomer 940 or Carbomer 941 for mixed sales, which may affect customers' products. |
