And known as seven Qiao festival, seven elder sister festival, daughter's day, begging Qiao Festival, etc., is a traditional Chinese folk festival, derived from the star worship, for the traditional sense of the seventh sister birthday, because of worship "seven elder sister" activities held in July seven nights, so the name "Qixi".

The Double Seventh Festival is not only a festival of worship of the seven sisters, but also a festival of love. It is a comprehensive festival based on the folklore of "The Cowboy and the Weaver Girl", with blessing and love as the theme and women as the main body. The Qixi Festival began in ancient times, the ancients found that there are two stars in the sky separated by the Milky Way, and very bright, linked to the division of labor of male and female weaving, respectively called "Altair" and "Vega". According to legend, every year on the seventh day of July, Niu Lang and Zhinu meet on the magpie bridge in the sky, and because of the festival in the evening, it is called the Qixi Festival. The festival originated in China and is also celebrated in some Asian countries that are influenced by Chinese culture, such as Japan, the Korean Peninsula and Vietnam. With the encroachment of Valentine's Day in the West, authorities have proposed making the festival a Chinese Valentine's Day to protect traditional culture. On May 20, 2006, Qixi Festival was included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list by The State Council of the People's Republic of China.

Here, We, Anhui Newman , in the "Qixi" this Chinese traditional festival approaching, wish all lovers will get married.

We, Anhui Newman Fine Chemicals Co., Ltd., are th top leading manufacturer of carbomer , acrylates copolymer, and related polymers. Especially our NM-Carbomer 20,2020,21 etc. are hydrophobically modified, cross-linked acrylate copolymers. In addition to the efficient thickening, suspending, and other properties of traditional carbomer such as NM-Carbomer 990,996,960,970, etc., they self- wet and disperses quickly in minutes, which remarkably meet formulators’ ease-use need. They have higher electrolyte tolerance and handle a higher level of surfactant actives, being ideally suited for use in formulations containing higher levels of oils, botanical ingredients such as shampoos and hair care products, and hydroalcoholic gels.

 Also, liquid carbomer such as NM-Carbomer SF-1, with INCI name acrylates copolymer. NM-Carbomer Aqua10 with acrylates/beheneth-25 methacrylate copolymer. And NM-Carbomer Aqua 20, NM-Carbomer 25 with INCI name Acrylates/ Steareth-20 Methacrylate Copolymer. NM-Carbomer 25 with INCI name Acrylates/ Steareth-20 Methacrylate Crosspolymer. As Anionic hydrophobic modified alkali swelling acrylic polymer emulsions (HASE), they are easy-to-use liquid form and can be instantly thickened and after providing easy handling to improve production efficiency. Due to the special chemical structure, it has excellent salt resistance, especially suitable for the formulation system with high surfactant content, such as anti-dandruff shampoo, shower gels, facial cleanser liquid soap, etc.

Also, we have been launching pharmaceutical grade carbomer homopolymer type A/B/C, such as NM-Carbomer 934P, 974P, 971P, 970G, and carbomer copolymer, carbomer interpolymer such as NM-Carboemr2020NF/2020G, 1382G and 10G/10NF series types. NM-Carbomers meet the requirements of major pharmacopoeia such as Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2020, USA Pharmacopoeia USP/NF, European Pharmacopoeia EP, British Pharmacopoeia BP and other relevant regulations. They have been successfully used in over the counter and pharmaceutical formulations to impart rheology modification, mucoadhesion, controlled drug release, and many other unique properties.
