NM -Carbomer 690 - high viscosity traditional carbomer

INCI Name: Carbomer

NM-Carbomer 690 is a cross-linked polyacrylate polymer, polymerized in co-solvent system of ethyl acetate and cyclohexane. It is capable of providing high viscosity, excellent thickening and suspending performance with low-dosage. It is recommended for use in automatic dish care, hard surface cleaners, home care cleaning systems, and other common industrial systems. It has good viscosity stability in the presence of chlorine bleach and good efficacy in high pH systems.   

Features and Benefits

 l Excellent stability in oxidizing systems such as those containing chlorine bleach or peroxides

 l High efficiency thickening for very cost-effective formulations

 l Improved vertical cling which minimizes dripping and increases surface contact time

 l Shear-thinning rheology suitable for non-aerosol sprayable or pumpable product formulations

 l Suspension and stabilization of insoluble materials and particulates

Recommended Applications

 l Dish Care: Chlorine Gels, Enzyme Gels

 l Surface Care: Scouring Creams

Formula Guidelines

 l Typical recommended dosage at 0.2~1.5wt %.

 l To disperse NM-Carbomer940 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.  

 l The ideal viscosity can be achieved at pH ranges of 7.0~10.0 when neutralized.   

 l After neutralization, high-shear and lasting stirring should be avoided to keep stable thickening ability.
