About Carbopol 940
Carbomer 940 Powder is a premium synthetic thickening agent and rheology modifier extensively applied in cosmetic, personal care, and pharmaceutical products. This crosslinked polyacrylic acid polymer is known for its ability to create substantial viscosity and stable gel structures even at minimal inclusion levels.
It is particularly favored for formulating crystal-clear gels with a refined, smooth consistency. Once neutralized, Carbomer 940 develops strong thickening efficiency and excellent suspension properties, making it well suited for hand sanitizers, gel formulations, serums, creams, and lotions that require enhanced stability and elegant texture.
