Carbomer 940 is a cross-linked polyacrylate polymer used in personal care gels and creams as a
high-efficient rheology modifier. It is capable of providing high viscosity, excellent thickening and suspending
performance with low-dosage. Its short flow (non-drip) properties are ideal for applications such as clear gels,
hydroalcoholic gels, creams. When neutralized by alkali it forms sparkling clear water or hydroalcoholic gels
and creams.
Recommended Applications
Hair styling gels
Hydroalcoholic gels
Moisturizing gels
Bath gels
Hand, body and face lotions
Creams
Formula Guidelines
Typical recommended dosage at 0.2-1.0 wt %.
To disperse Carbomer940 completely, it should be slowly and carefully sprinkled to dispersion medium while

the mix is stirred rapidly to avoid formation of lumps; extremely high shear rate mixer should be carefully
employed to avoid viscosity loss.
The ideal viscosity can be achieved at pH ranges of 5.0~10.0 when neutralized; In a hydoalcoholic system,
a correct neutralizer must be chosen carefully based on the amount of alcohol to be gelled.
After neutralization, high-shear and lasting stirring should be avoided to keep stable thickening ability.
