Properties
excellent viscosity adjuster, viscosity builder and
emulsion stabilizer
first Carbomers on the market based on class 3
solvent according to Pharmacopoe’s (US and
European; solvents with a low toxic potential to
man, no health-based exposure limit is needed):
n-Heptane and Ethyl acetate are used as solvents
in the polymerization step (max. 0.5% residual
content)
soluble in water and alcohol
can be used over a wide pH range
TEGO® Carbomer 140 G and 141 G are very fast dispersable in water without formation of lumps. Add TEGO® Carbomer 140 G or 141 G into the Vortex of the agitating liquid. Use dissolver or propeller stirrer or rotor-stator-homogenizer. Intensive shear may lead to a viscosity reduction of the final product and should be avoided. Neutralize with triethanolamine, tetrahydroxy propylethylendiamine, sodium hydroxide or other inorganic bases.
