Method for rapidly dissolving carbomer

Details:

Carbomer is a thickener with extremely high viscosity, which can effectively establish viscosity in aqueous system at low dosage. Most carbomer can establish viscosity of 10000 – 60000 CP when only 0.5% w / W is used, so carbomer is often used as aqueous thickener in various products. When preparing carbomer solvent, attention must be paid to the dispersion of carbomer powder to avoid the formation of granular fish eyes, resulting in insoluble.

Carbomer powder

In traditional preparation of carbomer gel, dispersing is a crucial step. It is usually necessary to spread the powder slowly into the medium and stir it quickly. For large-scale gel preparation, powder disperser can be used to aid dispersion. Most carbomers on the market are more easily dispersed than traditional ones, reducing the complexity of dissolution. In the process of precipitation polymerization, space stabilizers (usually ethoxylated non-ionic surfactants with block or comb configuration) are combined into carbomers. The generated carbomer is easy to be wetted when adding aqueous medium, but will be hydrated slowly, so that carbomer can be dispersed smoothly and evenly.

Because it is slowly dissolved by hydration, it is usually used to add powder to the water medium first, and let it take a full night's time to fully absorb the moisture. When the gel is mixed and prepared on the next day, it will be easier to achieve good results. Desheng is a professional manufacturer of carbomer.
