The effect of Carbomer 940:
Carbomer 940 is used for the formation of jelly gel. It can be used as an excellent floating agent, stabilizer, emulsifier, and medicinal auxiliary material matrix. It is also a very effective water-soluble thickener. The addition of 0.5% can produce a crystalline jelly gel with jelly effect. It is slightly acidic. The PH value of 0.5% water dispersion is 2.7-3.5. The disadvantage is that the colloid is liquid when it sees acid and salt.
The recommended dosage of carbomer:
The general addition amount is 0.2 to 1.0%, in most cases 0.2 to 0.5%. The dosage of 0.2-2.0% of carbo resin is used as emulsifier, the dosage of 0.2-2.0% of carbo resin is used as thickening agent, the dosage of 0.2-2.0% of carbo resin is used as ointment, and the dosage of carbo resin is 0.2-2.0. % Dosage is as a gelling agent.
How to use Carbomer 940:
2% Carbomer Gel (50ML):
1. Weigh 1g dry carbomer powder in a dry beaker with a scale of 50ml. If there is agglomeration, please crush it with a spoon.
2. Add 25ml of purified water and stir while adding to make the carbomer fully absorb water and swell. This step is very important. Carbomer must be allowed to fully absorb water. Generally, after adding water and stirring, leave it for a few hours (it can be prepared at night before going to bed, and it can be prepared after the next day), so that carbomer can fully swell. . If you want to be faster, you can heat it in a water bath. It will be faster to stir while heating. Of course, even if heating can accelerate the carbomer swelling process, it will take 10 to 30 minutes.
3. Use a dropper to drop the lye, stir while adding, and measure the PH value. When the pH is adjusted to 7, the gel is successful! (Triethanolamine can be used for lye).
Precautions:
1. Carbo must act together with the alkali agent triethanolamine to form a solid gel texture
2. Intolerance to acids, electrolytes, salts and other substances, it will decompose into water when encountering salt
Packaging and storage:
Carbomer has strong moisture absorption. Be sure to seal it during storage to prevent moisture absorption and agglomeration in the exposed air. If there is a slight agglomeration, gently tap and press it to become a loose powder without affecting the thickening effect. Once the product is used, it is best to store it. In a sealed container with desiccant.
transport:
Desheng Carbomer is packed in non-toxic polypropylene and nylon co-extruded plastic bags, moisture-proof and air-tight, and then packed in cardboard boxes. Carbomer is a polyelectrolyte, and it can sometimes be electrostatically charged by rubbing or squeezing resin particles. In case of spillage, please sweep up the dry powder with a broom first, do not wash it with water, otherwise it will form a very slippery thin layer on the ground or equipment.
Desheng Carbomer is more than 100 yuan/KG, the price is more favorable for large quantities, and the produced Carbomer 940 and 980 powders are whiter and more fluffy than those on the market, and the transparency after dissolution is better.
