Carbomer powder

Carbomer is a high molecular polymer of acrylic acid bonded with allyl sucrose or pentaerythritol allyl ether. Calculated on a dry basis, the carboxylic acid group (—COOH) content should be 56.0% to 68.0%. Carbomer is divided into many models, such as 940, 980, U20, U21 and many other models. The main manufacturers include Lubrizol, Tianci, Newman, etc. Joyous, as a large trader of carbomer raw materials in China, can provide almost all brands of carbomer. all models,

What is carbomer powder?
Carbomer is a high molecular polymer of acrylic acid bonded with allyl sucrose or pentaerythritol allyl ether. It can make the solution gel-like. During the epidemic era, it was used in hand sanitizers and disinfection products. In normal times, it can also be used to make various gel products, such as gynecological gel, topical gel, and cosmetic gel. Glue, etc., there are many models of carbomer. Their differences lie in viscosity, transmittance, benzene residue, etc. Generally, it can be combined with water or alcohol. After adjusting the Ph, it can be made into a gel. shape, the addition amount is generally around 0.4%.

What are the physical properties of carbomer?
Different carbomers have different properties, but they have the same general properties
[Appearance] Loose white, slightly acidic powder [pH value] 2.5-3.0 (1% aqueous dispersion)
[Bulk Density] Approximately 208 kg/m3 (13 lbs/cubic foot) [PH Value] 2.7-3.5 (0.5% aqueous dispersion)
[Specific gravity] 1.41 [Equivalent] 76+/-4
[Moisture content during shipment] Maximum 2.0% [Ash content] 0.009ppm (average)
[Equilibrium moisture content] 8-10% (when relative humidity is 50%) [Glass transition temperature] 100-105°C (212-221°F)
Carbomer can produce efficient thickening effect at a very low dosage (conventional dosage 0.25-0.5%), thereby preparing emulsions, creams, gels and transdermal preparations with a wide viscosity range and different rheology.
Carbomer market overview:
The market situation of carbomer starts with the brand
Carbopol is the signature dish of the American Novel Company (formerly known as the American Gulide Company, one of the oldest companies in the United States). Its products include the Carbopol series of rheology regulators and the Pemulen series of polymer emulsifiers. Currently, Carbopol The brand with the largest market share of Carbomer is American Lubrizol, a subsidiary of Warren Buffett, the world's largest Carbomer manufacturer. Its models are recognized by all other manufacturers.
For example, Guangzhou Tianci’s production batch number 340 corresponds to Lubrizol 940, and 380 corresponds to Lubrizol 980.
As the largest manufacturer, Lubrizol's production is divided into three parts. The first part is the powder produced in the United States. In order to create profits and be more connected with the international market, the supply direction of the powder is China;
The second part is the raw liquid produced in China. Similarly, the raw liquid is supplied to the United States;
The third part is the U series products, which are produced in Belgium.
The second largest manufacturer is Tianci, which is a well-known brand of new materials in China and has long-term cooperative relationships with seven of the top ten cosmetics companies in the world. It is the second largest carbomer supplier in the world after Lubrizol. Its products are recognized by the global market and its R&D department is the strongest.
The remaining suppliers are manufacturers that supply cosmetic thickening and pharmaceutical thickening, the largest of which is Anhui Newman, and Newman’s model corresponding to Carbomer 940 stopped external supply in early April 2019; the remaining Carbomer production The suppliers include Nanjing Zhongshi, CommScope, Guizhou Xinzihong, Guanxixing, etc. During the emergency supply of carbomer, they are also the choice of many customers, and the price is also lower.
Internationally, in addition to Lubrizol and China's Carbomer, there are some other brands that are also accepted by the market. Among them, the one with the best quality and the highest specifications is Japan's Sumitomo Group, but it was recruited by the Japanese government and cannot be supplied to the outside world. Secondly, They are the French brand Eisen and the Korean brand HK. In addition, some cost-conscious carbomers are also sold to various places from South Korea and India, but their market recognition is not high.
During the current epidemic, the important role of carbomer in hand sanitizers and alcohol gels has been quickly highlighted. How to distinguish the authenticity of carbomer and how to judge the quality of carbomer has become a difficult problem.
From a visual point of view, the viscosity and transparency of carbomer can be observed with the naked eye. Using some simple tools, you can easily make a gel. The difficulty lies in the degree of solubility of carbomer and the method of adding it; gel with 100g Taking gel as an example, the added amount of carbomer is 0.4g, that is, the proportion of 0.4%. The proportion of water and alcohol is added according to different formulas. The function of water is to speed up the dissolution, and the alcohol is to increase the volatility of the gel. Finally The added neutralizer is 0.4g, that is, the proportion is 0.4%, which is the same as the amount of carbomer. However, in various practical formulas, the proportion of neutralizer is generally less than 0.4%. The role of the neutralizer is Adjust the pH value of the gel for the purpose of contacting the human body. The best effect is to achieve neutrality, and different neutralizers also have different effects. The most commonly used and most applicable neutralizer is triethanolamine. Glycerin is also a common raw material in gel formulas. It can moisturize and protect hands, and is extremely suitable for people with dry skin.
From the packaging point of view, carbomer is an extremely light and fluffy white powder due to its density and other reasons. Its volume determines the weight of its single package. For carbomer of the same mass, the larger the package volume, the greater the packaging volume. The better the quality of carbomer (just a general reference, not absolute). For example, the packaging volume of Lubrizol and Tianci carbomer is larger than that of other brands. Generally, the packaging of Lubrizol carbomer is 20kg. /box. Tianci is 21 or 22kg/carton.
Before the epidemic started, the price of carbomer 940 was around US$10/kg, and the price of carbomer 980 was around US$14/kg. After that, it surged to a maximum of around 70USD/kg, and slowly fell back to a price of around US$12 at the beginning of 2023, and is now stabilizing.
