Ingredients Details
Carbopol
Common Name(s): Carbomer/acrylate crosspolymer,highly efficient gel former,rheology modifier
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Forms transparent to translucent high-viscosity gels at very low concentration, suspends particles and pigments against sedimentation through yield stress, and provides the elegant shear-thinning texture of premium gel serums.
Why It's Used: The most efficient aqueous thickener available โ achieving gel viscosity at 0.1% that requires 3โ5% of xanthan gum or 2% of cellulose thickeners, enabling clean-label lightweight formulations with high active loading.
How It Works: At ph <4: โcooh groups protonated, polymer coiled compact, low viscosity. neutralisation with naoh/tea deprotonates โcooh to โcooโป; like-charge repulsion expands polymer coil 100โ1000ร. above overlap concentration c* (~0.1%), expanded coils entangle forming viscoelastic gel network providing high zero-shear viscosity and shear-thinning.
Typically Found In: Gel serums,transparent toners,suspension systems
