Il Carbomer is a polyacrylic acid polymer used as an emulsifying, stabilizing, thickening, gelling agent and rheological modifier.

It’s mainly used in cosmetic and pharmaceutical fields for the production of creams, lotions, detergents, hair gels and sanitizing gels.

Its gelation, very transparent and with a pleasant texture, is carried out by dispersing the product in water, thus creating a slightly acidic ambient, which is subsequently neutralized making pH basic with Sodium Hydroxide, Potassium Hydroxide or TEA ( triethanolamine).
