High Purity Carbomer 940 Carbopol 980 In Hand Washing Gel

High Purity High Clarity Carbomer 940 Carbopol 980 The role of carbomer 940 in hand washing gel and its preservation

Carbomer 940 is white and loose; it is acidic, hygroscopic and has a slight special smell. It can be dissolved in water, ethanol, and sugar.
oil. The usual concentration is 0.1%～3.0%. Due to the large number of carboxyl groups in its molecule, special attention should be paid to the aqueous solution after neutralization with alkali
Use to reduce irritation to skin and mucous membranes. Since the epidemic last year, hand sanitizer gel has been a best-selling product, but do you know what role Carbomer 940 plays in it?

1. Carbomer 940 is used in hand sanitizing gel, the main reason is its thickening, viscosity and permeability;
2. Compared to hand sanitizers, most people prefer gel products. Carbomer can turn the solution into a gel. The gel is more durable and easier to use than liquids;
3. Carbomer can achieve good transparency when used in hand washing and disinfecting gel. After being neutralized to ionize the carboxyl group, due to the mutual repulsion of negative charges, the molecular chain will diffuse and stretch, showing a greatly expanded state. It is also sticky, and these characteristics undoubtedly make Carbomer one of the important raw materials for hand-washing disinfection;
4. Although Carbomer 940 itself does not directly provide disinfection and sterilization function, it strengthens the disinfection and sterilization effect by extending the time that the alcohol stays on the skin, and can make the product have a good skin feel. Carbomer 940 gel Unstable, easy to grow mold when exposed to the sun and lose viscosity quickly. Adding antioxidants can slow down the reaction.
5. In addition, only a very low concentration (0.2%-0.5%) can make some insoluble additives (particles, oil droplets, etc.) permanent suspension.
We must not only pay attention to its role in the product, we must also pay attention to its storage. Since carbomer has a strong hygroscopicity, it must be sealed when stored, and be careful not to absorb moisture and agglomerate in the air. If there is a slight agglomeration, gently pat on it and it will become a loose powder without affecting the thickening. effect. After activation, it is best to place it in a sealed container filled with desiccant.
