NM-Carbomer 970HC

 NM-Carbomer 970HC 

INCI Name: Carbomer  

NM-Carbomer 970HC is a cross-linked polyacrylate polymer. HC means very High Clarity. It is used as a  

high-efficient rheology modifier, capable of providing high viscosity, excellent clarity. When neutralized by  

alkali it forms sparkling clear water or hydroalcoholic gels and creams.  

Features and Benefits  

 High clarity  

 Short flow properties  

High viscosity   

Recommended Applications  

 Hand sanitizing gels  

Hydroalcoholic gels  

 Hair styling gels  

 Moisturizing gels  

 Bath gels  

Hand, body and face lotions  

Creams  

Formula Guidelines  

Typical recommended dosage at 0.2~1.0 wt %.  

To disperse NM-Carbomer970HC 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 hydroalcoholic  

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.
