9003-01-4 Carbopol Thickener Carbomer in Cosmetics 980 White Powder EP980 INCI Name & CAS No. Carbomer 9003-01-4 Description

Carbomer 980 is a crosslinked polyacrylate polymer used as a thickening agent. It provides outstanding long-term rheology and remains highly efficient at low concentrations. It thickens gels, creams, and other cosmetic products clearly without losing viscosity due to temperature changes. The specification lists its physical properties including viscosity levels at different concentrations and limits on residual solvents and heavy metals. It thickens products effectively at low dosages between 0.2-1.0% and resists dripping while maintaining clarity.

INCI Name & CAS No. Carbomer 9003-01-4
 
Description
 
Carbomer 980 is a crosslinked polyacrylate polymer and sometimes preferred since it is polymerized in a cosolvent system.Acts
as a thickening agent with outstanding long rheological behavior. It is highly efficient at moderate and low concentration. It
provides high clarity and resists temperature effect to viscosity.Used forclear gels, hydroalcoholic gels, creams and shampoos.
