NM-Carbomer 674
INCI Name: Carbomer
NM-Carbomer
674 is a cross-linked polyacrylate polymer with outstanding long-flow property
in mucilage. It performs well in challenging formulation environments at low
and high ph. It is recommended for use in all-purpose cleaners, surface
cleaners, multi-purpose cleaners, drain openers, and fabric pretreatment
systems.
Features
and Benefits
l

Formula
Guidelines
l
Typical recommended dosage at 0.2~1.5%.
l
To disperse NM-Carbomer 674 completely,
it should be slowly and carefully sifted to dispersion medium while the mix is
stirred rapidly to avoid formation of lumps; Extremely high shear rate mixer
should be carefully employed to avoid viscosity loss.
l
The ideal viscosity can be
achieved at pH ranges of 5.0~10.0; To achieve maximum thickening, NM-Carbomer
674 should be neutralized; in a hydroalcoholic system, a correct neutralizer
must be chosen carefully based on the amount of alcohol to be gelled.
l
After neutralization,
high-shear and lasting stirring should be avoided to keep stable thickening
ability.
