Carbomer 980 is a synthetic polymer derived from acrylic acid, similar to other carbomers but with specific properties that make it suitable for various applications in cosmetic and personal care formulations. It is a white, fluffy powder that, when hydrated, forms a clear, viscous gel. Carbomer 980 is known for its high thickening efficiency and ability to create stable emulsions.
Quick dissolving polyvinyl carboxy polymer crosslinked with ethers of pentaerythritol. Viscosity: 54,000-60,000 cps (0.5% solution) and 18,000-25,000 cps (0.2% solution).
Carbomer 980 is an ultra-high molecular weight acrylic acid polymer that delivers exceptional thickening, suspending, and emulsifying performance in cosmetic, skincare, and personal care products. Renowned for its ability to create high-viscosity gels with superior clarity and stability, Carbomer 980 is ideal for serums, creams, lotions, and gel-based formulations.
This versatile rheology modifier ensures excellent shear-thinning behavior, allowing smooth application while maintaining long-lasting texture. It is widely used in sunscreens, aloe vera gels, hair styling products, and pharmaceutical preparations, providing enhanced suspension of active ingredients and improved product performance.
Provides a significant thickening effect, allowing formulators to achieve desired textures with lower concentrations compared to other thickeners.
Helps stabilize emulsions, preventing the separation of oil and water phases, crucial for maintaining product consistency.
When hydrated, Carbomer 980 forms a clear gel, making it ideal for transparent formulations such as gels and serums.
Enhances the sensory attributes of products, providing a smooth and silky feel upon application.
Typical use level 0.1-0.5% depending on the type of formulation and desired viscosity. Must be mixed and hydrated but requires much less stirring and dissolves much quicker (<10 min) than regular carbomer. Increasing the pH to >6.0 gives a gel structure. Neutralization can be carried out with inorganic bases such as NaOH or KOH or triethanolamine (TEA). For external use only.
Ideal for Gel-creams, hair gels, lotions, and various cosmetic creams.
Commonly used in moisturizers, serums, and gels to provide thickness and stability while maintaining a light feel.
Found in styling gels and conditioners to improve texture and hold without leaving a heavy residue.
Used in foundations, primers, and other cosmetic products to enhance viscosity and application properties.
Employed in topical formulations for its thickening and stabilizing properties, often in gels and ointments.
