Product Introduction:
1. Appearance and nature

• It is a white loose powder, with strong hygroscopicity, and has a certain acidity due to the carboxyl group contained in the molecular structure.

2. Thickening and gel formation principle

• Carbomer 371 can produce thickening effect in very low dosage. After it is neutralized by alkaline substances and ionized by carboxyl group, due to the mutual repulsion of negative charges, the molecular chain is dispersed and stretched, showing a large expansion state and viscosity, thus forming a transparent gel.

3. Rheological characteristics

• It can make the liquid system have a special yield value and rheology, and only a very low concentration can make some insoluble additives (particles, oil droplets, etc.) reach suspension.

Product advantages:
1. Efficient thickening

• Just adding a small amount can significantly increase the viscosity of the product, effectively improve the texture and stability of the product, and reduce production costs.

2. Good suspension performance

• Insoluble particles or oil droplets can be evenly dispersed in the system to prevent precipitation or stratification and ensure the appearance and performance of the product.

3. High transparency

• The formed gel has a high transparency, does not affect the appearance and color of the product, especially suitable for products with high transparency requirements.

4. Temperature stability

• Its viscosity is not significantly affected by temperature, and the performance of the product can remain relatively stable under different temperature conditions, which broadens the range of use of the product.

5. Chemical stability

• In the general chemical environment, it has good stability, is not easy to react with other ingredients, and can be well compatible with a variety of formula ingredients.

Product application field:
1. Personal care products

• Such as skin care lotion, cream, transparent skin care gel, hair styling gel, shampoo, shower gel, rubbing clay treasure, etc., can increase the viscosity and stability of the product, improve the feel and texture when using, provide better moisturizing effect and lasting styling ability.

2. Cosmetics

• In foundation, concealer, lipstick and other makeup products, it can play a role in thickening, stabilizing and improving the texture, making the product easier to apply and push, and increasing the makeup holding power of the product.

3. The field of medicine

• As a drug carrier, it can be used to prepare local drug delivery gels, such as topical gels for the treatment of skin diseases, ophthalmic gels, etc., which can control the release speed of drugs and improve the efficacy of drugs.

4. Food industry

• It can be used for thickening and stabilizing some foods, such as beverages, jellies, jams, etc., to improve the taste and appearance of products and prevent the precipitation or stratification of ingredients.

5. Industrial sector

• In coating, ink, glue and other products, as a thickener and rheological regulator, can adjust the viscosity and rheology of the product, improve the construction performance and quality stability of the product.
