Carbomer 940 is a high-performance crosslinked polyacrylic polymer synthesized through the crosspolymerization of acrylic monomers with allyl sucrose allyl ether. Its molecular structure contains a large number of carboxyl groups (-COOH), endowing it with core functions of highly effective thickening, stable emulsification, and suspension dispersion.
| Item | Specification |
| Viscosity (20 rpm, 25°C, mPa·s) | 19,000–35,000 (0.2% aqueous solution) 40,000–70,000 (0.5% aqueous solution) |
| Solution clarity (420 nm) % | ≥85 (0.2% aqueous solution) |
| Solubility | Easily soluble in polar solvents such as water, ethanol, and glycerin; insoluble in non-polar solvents like petroleum ether and chloroform. |
| Thickening Mechanism | Intrinsically weakly acidic; requires alkaline neutralization to pH 6–8. |
| Thermal Stability | Stable at conventional processing temperatures (≤80°C). Viscosity temporarily decreases at high temperatures but recovers upon cooling. |
| Electrolyte Sensitivity | High salt concentrations disrupt molecular chain charge balance. |
| Chemical Compatibility | Compatible with most cosmetic and pharmaceutical ingredients (e.g., preservatives, vitamins), but avoid direct mixing with strongly acidic or alkaline substances. |
Cosmetics and Skincare:
– Core matrix for gel-based products like serums, masks, and acne gels.
– Stabilizes O/W emulsions in lotions and creams, adjusting texture and viscosity.
– Suspends sunscreen particles (e.g., titanium dioxide) in sunscreens, improving dispersion uniformity and enhancing protection.
Pharmaceutical Applications:
– Serves as a base for topical formulations like analgesic gels and hemorrhoid ointments.
– Functions as a humectant and adhesion enhancer in eye drops.
– Used in oral suspensions to stabilize poorly soluble drugs.
Personal Care:
– Used in toothpaste and mouthwash to regulate viscosity, improve glide during use, and stabilize active ingredients (e.g., fluoride).
– Used in air fresheners and gel cleaners to prolong active ingredient release and enhance lasting effects.
