HS Carbomer

1. HS Carbo 940

 INCI Name: Carbomer.

Application:

Cosmetic: It is the main ingredient in hair gels, shower gels, and the famous hand sanitizer. It provides a "short" viscosity (doesn't drip) and a crystalline shine.

Homecare: Used in gel detergents, vertical surface cleaners, and products that require the suspension of bubbles or decorative particles.

Industrial: Thickening agent for heavy-duty cleaning solutions and polishing fluids.

Key differentiators: Maximum visual clarity, excellent thickening efficiency at low concentrations, and a refreshing feel on the skin.

2.       HS Carbo 980

INCI Name: Carbomer.

Application:

Cosmetic: Preferred for luxury cosmetics, facial creams, aftershave gels, and eye area products. Offers the same high viscosity as 940, but with a more stringent toxicological profile.

Homecare: Premium cleaning products that prioritize environmental and user safety.

Industrial: Used in pharmaceutical and medical applications (ultrasound gels) due to its purity.

Key differentiators: Benzene-free, high transparency, superior thermal stability, and compatibility with more sensitive ingredients.

3.       CARBOMER U21 (Ultrez 21)

INCI Name: Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer.

Application:

Cosmetic: Ideal for complex formulations containing salts, botanical extracts, or active ingredients that tend to "break down" the viscosity of common carbomers. Excellent for sunscreens, moisturizing lotions, and modern facial gels.

Agro: Used as a stabilizer in concentrated suspensions (SC) of pesticides, ensuring that the active ingredients do not settle at the bottom of the container.

Homecare: Concentrated liquid detergents and products containing higher concentrations of surfactants.

Key differentiators: Self-dispersing (does not form "clumps" and disperses in minutes), greater tolerance to electrolytes, and allows for faster and more economical manufacturing processes.
