Description
Carbomer 980 QD is a high-performance, quick-dispersing polymer derived from acrylic acid. It is widely used in cosmetics and personal care products as a thickening agent and emulsifier. Known for its ability to provide exceptional gel clarity, viscosity, and stability, Carbomer 980 QD is ideal for formulating clear gels and smooth emulsions. It is designed to disperse rapidly in aqueous formulations without the need for high shear mixing, making it an efficient choice for various applications.
Key Benefits
✔ Quick-dispersing and easy to incorporate into formulations
✔ Provides high viscosity and clear gel consistency
✔ Stabilizes emulsions and improves the texture of formulations
✔ Offers superior performance in both water-based and aqueous systems
✔ Compatible with a wide range of actives, essential oils, and other ingredients
How to Use
- Disperse Carbomer 980 QD into the water phase, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
- Neutralize with an appropriate neutralizing agent (e.g., triethanolamine) to activate the thickening effect.
- Recommended usage: 0.2-1%, depending on the desired viscosity and formulation.
- For external use only.
Applications
Ideal for clear gels, facial serums, moisturizers, sunscreens, body lotions, hair styling products, and other cosmetic emulsions or water-based formulations.
