Carbomer, 940, NF Grade
Manufacturer: Spectrum Chemical Manufacturing
Description
This premium National Formulary (NF) grade material is cross-linked to yield extremely high viscosities at low concentrations. When neutralized with an appropriate base, it creates sparkling clear, sparkling gels with short flow properties—meaning it resists dripping and holds its shape exceptionally well—making it indispensable for formulating hand sanitizers, targeted topical treatments, suspensions, and stable oil-in-water emulsions.
Key Functional Benefits:
- Elite High-Viscosity Yield: Engineered to provide superior thickening efficiency, establishing robust gel networks at low working concentrations (typically 0.25% to 1.0% by weight).
- High Optical Clarity: Delivers crystalline clarity when fully hydrated and neutralized to a pH range of 6.5 to 7.5, making it ideal for aesthetics-critical topical matrices.
- Robust Particle Suspension: Creates a high yield value matrix capable of permanently suspending insoluble particles or heavy active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) without settling over time.
- Certified cGMP Manufacturing: Spectrum Chemical NF-grade products are manufactured, packaged, and stored under strict current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) to ensure total batch traceability and uncompromised compliance.
