Carbomer

Description:
Carbomer, identified by the CAS number 9007-20-9, is a synthetic polymer primarily composed of acrylic acid. It is characterized by its high molecular weight and is typically used as a thickening, emulsifying, and stabilizing agent in various formulations, particularly in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products. Carbomers are known for their ability to form gels when neutralized with a base, which enhances the viscosity of solutions. They are also biocompatible and non-toxic, making them suitable for use in topical applications. The polymer's structure allows it to absorb water and swell, creating a gel-like consistency that can improve the texture and stability of products. Additionally, carbomers are versatile and can be modified to achieve specific properties, such as varying degrees of viscosity and pH sensitivity. Their effectiveness in controlling the release of active ingredients makes them valuable in drug delivery systems. Overall, carbomers are essential components in many formulations due to their multifunctional properties and ease of use.
